I totally agree with you. I'd rather have a slightly bigger laptop with the ability to replace the battery easily. I slightly disagree with this though: > but thin to the point where batteries are barely functional? My previous MBP (mid-2014) was still very usable after 3 years of intensive use. Overall, I can't say I suffered from not being able to change the battery easily. (I passed the problem to the next owner...).
