Should Apple put replaceable batteries in their products?

"MacBook Air doesn't have replacable battery."

After the announcement of the new ultra-thin laptop the MacBook Air, people noticed something -- like the iPod and the iPhone before it, the MacBook Air does not have a user replaceable battery. Instead, the battery is contained in the casing of the laptop and would need to be replaced by service technicians. But as many computer users carry spare batteries for emergencies, is Apple going to make them think twice about the MacBook air? Should they make a 2nd generation with a replaceable battery?

	Yes, laptops need replaceable batteries. Right choice
	No, users don't need to replace the battery in their laptop.

well.... couldnt they just put rechargeable batteries in there and then you could plug it into the wall and it would recharge? that would be pretty sweet.

everything should come with replaceable batteries i am surprised that they dont it would be more money they would be getting of us but i suppose they think it is better to just go and buy a new laptop or ipod etc

Is Apple adding to our disposable Lifelstyle?

By having batteries built in to computers people dispose of old computers instead of replacing faulty batteries. Apple are the best in the game - lift it! With integrity you can also be opaque but with good intentions you will win over the people.

yeah they should coz the battery never lasts long with an extra one ppl will always have a charged one
