Anybody else NOT have a laptop anymore? I retired few years back and just use my iPhone for everything.
When the battery in my newer laptop started to swell, I swore off computers that have their own power.
I'm on a Mac Mini now. I never even OPENED the stupid laptop any more, just ran it attached to a 27-inch monitor.
In the newer MacBook Pros, the battery is a unitary assembly that includes the KEYBOARD.
Keeps things slim, which is what consumers demand.
The reason I had laptops in the first place was that I was traveling about a quarter-million miles a year. Thirteen-inch screens. Thin as possible.
I'd go to Japan for a MONTH with nothing but a backpack and a carry-on bag.
Everything in life is a trade-off.
@AndersonArtwork @mcfate @Meri On the earlier Mac laptops with removable batteries, the system would run at reduced power if the battery was removed.
@Meri I have one but I don't use it that often. I prefer my phone for most things.

Nice to have the world fit in the palm of your hand!
I mostly use my phone and IPad.
I just use my laptop for writing.
@Meri
Don't use mine much. Maybe once a week
