LOL at you, asshole.

Of course Dell is going to say that. But WTF is "use an external battery" about?

I watched this during my pre-buy research. Battery replacement is simple and takes about 20 minutes. Nothing is glued in. No fragile hold-down tape to try and stretch and pull out.

An iFixit video with some Apple MacBook comparisons:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4IUfNevmCU

"What if we told you that there was a laptop out there almost as sleek and slim as a MacBook Pro without an abysmal repairability score? Well, say hello to the new Dell XPS 15."

You can also easily upgrade the RAM and SSD, replace the screen, keyboard and trackpad. Pretty much everything is screwed in. Result: iFixit 9 out of 10 repairability score. Of course, given the BTO Dell business model you should not be all that surprised.

But you will find something to complain about, won't you, asshole?

And your gracious acknowledgement that I was already discussing your

But your implication by paragraph structure was that swapping the
battery was a viable way to achieve greater run time on battery alone.

And that's bullshit, Idiot Liarboy.

You can replace your battery when it's worn out...

....and so can I (and have!) on my MacBook.
