Personally I don't really care. I recognize this going in, and I recognize that there are many many other hardware options if I want to unscrew my laptop and dork about with the internals.

For me, I travel around a lot. Physical durability and integrity of the hardware, in the smallest possible form factor, is important to me. You don't often get expansion/flexibility to go along with svelte and rugged.

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before laptops become one giant COB (chip-on-board) manufacturing process where the whole "laptop" is a 10mmx10mmx1mm chip glued to the back of an LCD panel with some battery wrapped around it. And I'll buy one.
