I never understood why that didn't take off more, like even when you "could* swap out a phone battery for example (miss you old xiaomi 2 & 5 !) it wasn't hot swappable, even a condensator+some quick deep sleep could probably let you do it if you're fast smh.

    Probably because people don't use their laptops when they're mobile as much as you'd think. Spending an additional 100-150€ on a second battery will seem expensive, even when the laptop just cost 1-2k€.

    In my dream world you'd pop in and out 18650 batteries in slots on the backside ☺️ a proprietary system would probably be cost prohibitive. For a mobile they had lots of similar flat batteries, and cheap too, but that was then I guess.
