I have never swapped a battery out of a laptop, ever. So... yes.

I too almost never have, and when I do it's usually a rare occurrence. For that reason, yes, I'd happily buy a laptop with a built-in battery, especially if the battery gives a 17" laptop 8 hours of charge!

And I'm sure it won't be long before ifixit.com has a guide explaining how to replace the battery yourself.

Same here - and cellphones too.
