#LaptopsWereAMistake. The #PortableComputer form-factor with #standard part #compatibility, proper CPU sockets, standard memory and standard input sockets were better.

The battery should never be tightly coupled to a given machine, it prevents #reusability (it should also be external & detached for safety reasons).

A standard 100~120/220~240v input socket means you can use any given portable battery pack.

Anything else just gives manufacturers free rein to rip-off customers.
