    but replacing the battery doesn’t mean you get to have a tablet with replaceable batteries

          I guess we could use the term “swappable” here as a distinction.

            I’ll accept that compromise. Now I’m more curious if the batteries are hot swappable though. It’d probably cause some chaos with the battery indicator but just making me think…

              Wouldn’t the battery indicator already be fucked because of this? Do those cells match what it came with?

      Ig, but you can expect a Li-ion to last about 2-3 years, it’s not that much of a chore to open it up every 3 years, especially after the first time

        why should you open it up again, instead of just charging/replacing the repalceabke batteries

            okay but who doesn’t want a tablet with replaceable batteries
