To be fair, batteries back then lasted a lot shorter than they do now. For my first MBP I had to buy multiple replacement batteries, for my newer ones I didn't have to do that a single time while using them much more.
- Symbiote 4y agoEven today, replacing the batteries on a laptop from a competing manufacturer is a 10 minute job with an ordinary screwdriver. Many people can do it themselves, and if not, a computer/phone repair shop will do it for $10 (or free, if you buy the battery from them).

- smitty1110 4y agoDon't forget that they also had significant wear after only a few months. HP sucked so much money out of me with replacement batteries before I switched to an MBP in 2015. I haven't bought anything from HP since, and good riddance.
