Pros and cons to a non-removable battery. More cons than anything IMO. The
obvious con in that you cannot swap out a low battery for a spare if you are
not in a position to plug it in. In short, I guess the only pro is for a guy
like me who is technically savvy enough to crack open a MB or a MBP, and do a
replacement should they be available. Surely it would be a serviceable part.
Bad for the average Joe who wants nothing to do with working on his own MBP. I
think it's a bad idea overall, but I've been wrong many times before.
