I was hoping for a long time someone would take care of this problem and start the "pc-ization of notebooks" revolution. That is, make them modular, just like modular smartphones (that mostly failed I think). It means going in the opposite direction that Apple is going. It means a slightly higher cost - but overall smaller carbon footprint in the long term. I'd like to be able to switch the keyboards in my laptop - but nowadays they make it difficult to remove the battery (or almost impossible, if you happen to use newer Mac Books). I'd love to upgrade my screen - and screen only. Same for webcam, touchpad, WLAN modem and other peripherals. I realize there are challenges, but many of them (like detachable screen) have already been solved by another revolution. Sadly, the industry is going in the opposite direction.
