- sschueller 8mo agoYou have remove screws and be careful not to damage anything. Easy for you and me but not for the layman. Sorry but why do we have to accept mediocre as acceptable these days? My old laptop had hot-swapable batteries.
- stefanfisk 8mo agoPersonally I prefer the current solution to adding weight and size. I can’t remember my battery draining below 50% since I bought my M5 a while back. 10+ years ago I agree that the needs were different but these days needing swappable batteries seems like a very minor niche IMHO.
