There are still plenty if you don't buy from Apple.

  I was actually shocked to see how easy it is to repair dell XPS laptops considering they are just as thin as macbooks (I think even thinner) The battery is secured with a few screws and a metal bracket. Also the ram was socketed.

    The thinness is a red herring but people who don't know better believe that. Apple is clearly doing these things in order to make their products unserviceable so they can upsell.

  It's a shame Apple chose 'sexiness' as the hill to die on with their products. They've long been a company that has done so much right with regards to pushing the tech industry kicking and screaming into the future, with high PPI displays, with getting rid of things like floppy and disk drives etc, and most recently with their stance on privacy. But it seems they're going too far recently. Shit keyboards. Gluing everything making it neither repairable nor upgradeable, greatly increasing the environmental footprint of their products. Getting rid of the headphone jack to trap people into biannual upgrade cycles of new headphones. I'm not even sure what their end goal is anymore.
