alt Hacker News> The battery is a fire risk and the entire thermal design isn’t really geared towards 24/7 operation.
I remember having this old Dell Latitude, where you could easily swap out the battery pack with a button/tab thing on the back, without having to open anything else up - I even got a spare bigger capacity battery, but it would work without one altogether when connected to the power brick.
I unironically think that all laptops should be built like that.
I recall that being the case; my impression is that a major difference between laptops and smartphones is that when plugged in, the laptop bypasses the battery to draw power directly, rather than charging the battery and then drawing power from it. My previous Thinkbook 14+ had an issue where the Type-C charging port would occasionally have a poor connection. When this happened, the device would lose power immediately, and restarting it required BitLocker verification.
