I highly appreciated the reduced size and weight of my hp sleekbook that replaced it, hated the weight when I went to the 2007 Macbook pro (which didn't fit my backpack very well with its aspect ratio), loved the sleekbook when I switched back and now live my razer blade 14.

I used to have a bog standard 15' dell Inspiron, ya know nothing fancy but pretty much exactly normal laptop size. On a side note, I don't really understand the appeal of thin laptops, I've yet to find a bag or any space not 'tall enough' to fit even a chunky thinkpad with no issues, smaller dimensions are understandable but thickness has yet to be a hindrance to me.Ĭlick to expand.Less fashion but weight. I'd argue that most users value a replaceable battery over many different options in a laptop, batteries are one of the first issue to arise in any laptop I've owned and given the average 5 years of use before upgrading its pretty likely to be bad during ownership. The models with 'conventional' latch batteries are some of the HPs and Acers, the rest are internal but aren't glued in and use a removable connector for easy replacement. Just looking through the Windows laptops list on curry's all of the laptops HP, Dell, Acer, Lenovo and a couple of others all have removable batteries. Click to expand.Its still a thing that mainly only applies to high end gear though, (and some ultra thin cheap shit) most average consumer laptops still have proper removable batteries.
