End up with a device with a duff battery (or the subject of a battery recall – see HP recently) and the whole device goes in for repair. Its not ideal, but you can run notebooks with removable batteries on AC while waiting for a replacement – not so those with a sealed system, as with Apple – and an Apple Store or repair centre is not always readily available.

As for ASUS and they’re weekly release of yet another Eee, they need to get a grip. They’ve engendered consumer confusion over the comparative value / features of each model (pretty difficult to do when everyone’s hardware specs are the same) and lost market share from that they once owned. Meanwhile, all these models suggest why they want to go to a sealed system. These would require one battery type in everything, and not a new pack for each build tweak they do – so a cost saving there.

The 1005HA-M !? What’s next, the 1005HE-HE or 1010HA-HA?
