        What do you even want to change the battery in a gaming laptop for? you will never use one not connected to an outlet because they chug an elephant sized battery in less than an hour.

          No you're the zoomer. Back in the days battery in laptops were easily taken out so you can plug it to the outlet

      I always worry that I will snap the plastic clips when I open the chassis.

      When you're not gaming the battery life is reasonable.

        It degrades over time. After a few years of intensive use they don't hold much charge anymore.
        Also there are other power-intensive applications besides gayming.

      I do get about 4-5hours of use from gaymin' laptop when in light use. Of course that drops to a bit under 40 minutes with blender.

    Same reason new cars don't have a plug to drain the oil, so you need to get it sucked out in the shop

    I think gaming laptops should not come with batteries.
    You wont notice a difference.

    Makes me wonder if there's a market for a gaming laptop that doesn't have a battery. That's a lot of space that could be used for better cooling etc

      Yeah, we could even remove the display and keyboard since gamers will use proper ones anyway. We could even make the chassis bigger for better airflow and start calling it a desktop.

    This is not the same situation as with a phone where its sealed shut and needs a heatgun and whatnot.
    This is also not the same situation as a T440s with dual batteries for quick replacement of them. A laptop dies immediately the moment you take out its battery anyways.
    All you need is a screwdriver and you can replace the battery. I believe parts are not even serialized(and I am against serialization too)
    Even the most repairable laptop out right now knows to keep the battery inside

    Fricking idiots, for laptops that are meant to be plugged for a long time and especially when running them at max power it's very common to unplug the battery to prolong its life. You zoomers never even had a laptop with hot-swappable batteries, shut the frick up. Unironically defending 20 screws. Embarrassing.

      If you are running a laptop at full power you are doing it wrong.
      In addition to that BIOS these days is smart enough not to charge batteries all the time.
      Again unless you have dual battery laptop so that you can change batteries without losing progress or your laptop dying. What is the point.
      I get the battery being accessible on a phone btw.

        On a single battery it's merely a minute long interruption until you're back in OS, without swappable batteries it's just dead

        Is BIOS these days smart enough to shield the battery from eight heat pipes dual fan cooling system attached to CPU and GPU?

          Anon the battery is located away from the heatpipes.
          They aren't stupid you know.
          Actually that was a major design issue of laptops in the 2000s The battery pack was usually close to he exhaust.

            If only there was an easy way to put the battery even further away from the exhaust, like have it outside the chassis or something.

              Anon both designs have their benefits and drawbacks.
              Do you think a battery pack is faultless?
              For one thing a battery pack means the battery needs to be encased in a shell. The battery thus must be smaller to account for the thickness of the laptop. Or alternatively remain the same and make the laptop thicker and heavier.
              There is also the issue of heat, since the battery is trapped inside the shell, a lot of the heat it generates is also trapped there with it and does not dissipate in the device, thus killing it faster.
              A battery that is screwed in inside the device does not need the shell and can use the device materials like the aluminium to spread the heat.

                So you admit having battery outside the case(UPS) is the proper solution for gaming, glad we were on the same page all along.

                UPS is only useful to give you 5 minutes before you save your stuff and turn your pc off.

    Planned obsolescence mainly. Also why the fans are always this proprietary garbage that can't be replaced without taking everything apart.
