A senior executive said that Intel is making laptops more modular, as part of a bid to make them more flexible and easy to repair. But only Framework appears to be really taking action from a consumer standpoint.
In any sort of fair world the minute manufacturers started putting the fucking battery inside the machine behind a bunch of components, let alone soldered on, the execs would have been dragged onto the street and beaten for such blatantly anti consumer bullshit.
Remember when laptops had multibays and user replaceable hard disks, ram and batteries?
Some even had replaceable CPU & GPU!
Not exactly beginner friendly, but you needn’t solder all those fragile components.
