Future proofing a box with a non-user replaceable battery? They don't want future proof, they just have other gadgets to sell to the people that want mobile connectivity.
- lloeki 14y ago> Future proofing a box with a non-user replaceable battery My battery lasts 6 to 7 hours and is more than two years old. I can't remember the last time I had to stay six hours straight without having a plug nearby long enough to pump up some serious juice (and remember, charging is non-linear, the first 80% come up in a blink). Swapping batteries is a niche, yet it's the standard in PC land. I'd rather have a couple more hours in a thinner enclosure than twice but at the cost of lugging around a bulkier design, along with the second battery. Plus recharging two batteries is a chore.
- mitchty 14y agoA battery isn't a 3g radio, and what happens if you put in hsdpa and all of the sudden the lte bands being used are different? The battery analogy is flawed.
