> replaceable batteries

Have you ever seen the inside of a modern Ultrabook?

Pretty much the entire inside of the case is packed with battery cells, with only a tiny sliver near the hinge used by the system board. People comfortable opening the case and moving around a pile of tiny components and connectors could replace it, but I don't see any obvious way to make such a battery modular.

I don't want an ultrabook. These slim cases and low-energy CPU are in fact slower than my 5 years high end old notebook. I want a new ThinkPad T series, a business class high end notebook.

Then don't buy the ThinkPad X1 series, which includes this newly announced model.

Yeah, the current thinkpads with modular batteries have tiny capacity, unless you get the extended one that sticks out the back.
