A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

You can more or less forget about ultrabooks or other highly portable laptops if you want externally removable batteries. The latching mechanism and protective packaging takes up a lot of space, where there already is none. I find that releasing a few screws to pop the back cover is barely an inconvenience; to some degree people need to learn to do this stuff if they want the best of both worlds.
