I'm okay with bulkier, replacable batteries which are reasonably cheap. Most people I know would like it too. Are we not a part of "the market" ?
As a kid I would confidently open up any electronic device without worrying too much about breaking it. A radio, tv, toys, remote controlled devices, speakers, headphones, laptops, disk drives, etc. These days I do not find myself opening up electronic devices as much. More from them fear of breaking them or the hoops that I have to go through to do it.
That exploration really taught me valuable things.
I don't have kids yet, but if and when I do, I'd want them to open up anything that they are not sure how it works internally, under the shiny box. I am not sure if they will be as confident about opening up common device of their time be it a mac or an iPhone or a tablet or any such "tightly locked" device.
I hope I can build, nurture and keep their curiosity alive.

This idea that because one or two device lines (surface, macbook) do something means that it is an assault on you (the collective) is tiresome. The great thing about capitalism is that you vote with every purchase. People want these, those people aren't you (the writer).
