Whoops, so they do. That's a repair I wouldn't want to touch by myself but good luck to anybody who does!

The last Mac laptop I did repairs on was a snapped hinge and man that a painful process. Similar boat with having to take the entire computer apart (including the screen assembly). These days I'd be much happier to pay someone to deal with that, but doing it yourself is certainly the affordable solution and I'm glad that self repair continues to be an option.

It doesn't have to be hard if they design it reasonably. XPS is similarly "thin" and you only have to undo 4 screws to replace the battery.
