They recently replaced the battery on my Macbook Air. They didn't replace the whole computer, just the battery. Took about 15-20 minutes.

Ah, I thought the battery was permanently attached to the body.

The RAM is the thing with Macbook Air's that permanently soldered to the system board. Everything else is difficult to replace due to the form factor, but still replaceable.
