Batteries which are soldered to the board instead of using a connector, motherboard is all one assembly including the keyboard, fewer ports, nothing user serviceable. That all seems like measures to make manufacturing easier from my perspective.
- JetSpiegel 8y agoHow is soldering components simpler than using connectors? It's more expensive for diminishing returns.
- craftyguy 8y agoConnectors are also soldered as well and they add to the BOM costs.
- TeMPOraL 8y agoSure, it gives them both the benefit of optimized manufacturing and the benefit from screwing the customers. It's not a law of nature that making things better for yourself will make them better for your customers. In fact, the opposite is usually true.
