Where you absolutely refuse to go the cheap way.

For me its deodorant. Everything else I’ve found but my chosen brand fails me.

    They are kind of mutually exclusive, for several reasons.

    First. a non-removable battery allows for more flexibility as to the shape of the battery, which allows you to cram more battery into a laptop as you can more optimally use the space you have.

    But a bigger reason is that lithium batteries are dangerous, if punctured or otherwise damaged they can catch fire in a quite spectacular way. This means that if you have a removable battery it needs to be inside some kind of protective casing. This takes up space, so you end up with a smaller capacity battery for the same space.

    Also, batteries do not degrade that quickly anymore, and they aren’t that expensive to replace either.
