In any sort of fair world the minute manufacturers started putting the fucking battery inside the machine behind a bunch of components, let alone soldered on, the execs would have been dragged onto the street and beaten for such blatantly anti consumer bullshit.
I feel like this has been tried many times before.
Remember when laptops had multibays and user replaceable hard disks, ram and batteries?
Some even had replaceable CPU & GPU!
Not exactly beginner friendly, but you needn’t solder all those fragile components.
