The battery life is great, but the thing that worries me about all non-Apple laptops with sealed batteries is the lack of an official battery service. If I buy an Apple laptop, I know that for $130-200, they'll swap out the battery pack once it's capacity goes down. That does wonders for resale value. What's the story with the original Pixel?

If that is your only reason for selecting an apple produce over something else, then that's just a little naive.

Thinking about the problems you will have with something you buy is naive? Considering a wide variety of parts on a laptop are proprietary I think serviceability and turn around time are big considerations.
I share the same concerns - due to the small form factor of these laptops, it isn't a standard, commodity you can find easily.
Especially in the Pixel's case where it is a limited production run to begin with.

It's not. It's actually a really good reason to buy electronics. Apple supports their devices very well.
