What are you talking about ? The battery IS replaceable just not by you. And I hardly think saving an hour at an Apple Store once every 3 years is worth having a substantially thicker device.

  We're already most of the way there with iOS. The Windows 8 ARM UEFI stuff is pretty foreboding too.

  Developers that write apps to fill the App Store give people a reason to buy their products in the first place. This is paranoid nonsense.

You'll probably get one use of that, then. I doubt they'll still have 2012 Macbook Pro batteries sitting around in 2018, much less a person who knows how to install them. I took my 2006 Macbook in to an Apple retail store to get a new battery, and they don't stock them any more. They said they could special order one, but actually suggested I try Amazon.
