And now ... Apple entusiasts and enjoy the worlds slimmest laptop ... again with a non replaceable battery; albeit the batter can be "repaired" at a cost by your nearest Apple store and within a reasonable 5 day turnaround.

Like I said, I think their product designs are nice, but not at the costs levied.

Just an FYI. Apple is by far not the only company making products that have a non-replaceable battery. For example I bought a Logitech mouse for about $100 over a year ago that has one. I did not realize it at the time but its not been a problem. It still holds a charge very well.

You get a new phone every 2 years anyway, isn't that about the life of the device?
I'm sure the thinking goes along those lines when they design these products.

Furthermore don't all these "Iphone killer" devices have one?
