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.

I don’t care as long as they’re not glued in.
Outside of the ultra thin devices they’re typically just held in with a couple screws. And most laptops aren’t glued shut either so it’s easy to replace them.
Lenovo briefly had a stint offering laptops with a built in battery and an external one so you could hot swap them. But outside of that I think they’re pointless and I’d much rather one internal bigger battery.
I did a swap on a surface pro 4 recently. The battery part alone was easily 30 minutes.
