While all this talk about Smartphone battery replacement is happening, nobody seems to ever talk about the laptop batteries these days also being a hassle to replace.

What about being able to swap the hard drive and/or RAM in a laptop.
I have an old Lenovo one which I love as it had access slots to remove and swap them easily, not have them under metal strips screwed into plastic casing and the circuit board. Despite buying it in 2013, it goes like a charm with 8gb of RAM and a 2tb hdd.
But there’s an old Dell I have that is locked down tighter than a Maga press-pool, so it’s time is coming to an end since even Linux ideally wants more than 2gb of RAM these days.
I have a used Lenovo T470s running Linux. Runs like a dream. I recently took the bottom off, the access is just wonderful.
