> If you* don't value that, then why did you read the tin, buy the thing, and then complain that it is what it said it was going to be?
Because the tin didn't say "repairable and upgradable and poor battery life and shaky case". It only mentioned the benefits but not the drawbacks.
To be fair, I've had plenty a non-repairable laptop with poor battery life and shaky case. I don't know their excuee.
If all the laptop components break at the same time, there's no need for repairability. Then it’s just a somewhat disposable computer by design. For a car analogy, this is how many americans could afford their first car.
The truly bad designs are when one broken component is preventing repairability. Hello apple!
