when i bought my laptop, foremost on my list of features to look for was actually having the ability to open it up and replace parts (RAM, HD, Battery, etc).

Unfortunately, Microsoft went the same direction as Apple with the Surface Book (minimal to zero repairability).

It’s frustratingly hard to find a modern laptop with a replaceable battery. Which laptop did you get?

unfortunately, I was unable to find one with a replaceable battery. I, at least, got one with other replaceable parts, though. I got the HP ENVY 15z (Ryzen 2500u).

Thanks for letting me know. It’s so frustrating that laptops don’t have replaceable batteries these days as the batteries will last for much less time than the rest of the laptop. Plus, if you use your laptop plugged into the ac socket most the time like I do, this is not good for battery life and this could also be avoided if the battery was removable.
