I want the ability to fix my laptop that it can be upgraded is bonus but usually meaningless. Laptops suffer a ton of abuse. Yet are the biggest pains to actually fix anything because everything is either riveted or a jigsaw puzzle to get at. I can usually get a couple of extra years out of a device by just fixing the broken thing. On a laptop that is not nearly as easy.

> all we're talking about is about cost efficiency I am not buying that argument much here. These are 1500+ dollar devices. On the sub 200 dollar range I get it. But on the higher end we are getting integrated stuff where if the track pad eats itself I have to figure out how to glue it back in if I can get the right part.
