While all this talk about Smartphone battery replacement is happening, nobody seems to ever talk about the laptop batteries these days also being a hassle to replace.

And please ffs let us actually unscrew the back, not just take out a couple of pointless screws and then wrestle with those awful plastic clips that always snap off and never quite go back into place properly afterwards

My last laptop was 5 screws and the back just slid off.. now my laptop is like 1cm thinner but has 12 screws and 20 clips.

On a totally unrelated note, I haven't cleaned out my laptop recently and in relying on the fans going to max to clear any hair in them by just slicing it up. Hopefully.

Ooohhh - now I want a laptop with razor blades on its fan. Maybe also get the fan to occasionally run in reverse to blow the crud back out the intake.
