What’s an Ultrabook?

The term “ultrabook” is trademarked by Intel to

mean a new breed of very thin, very light, powerful

laptops (not tablets or “netbooks”) that use 2nd or

3rd generaon Intel chips, solid state disks, and has

a longer baery life. The ultrabook is basically the PC

manufacturers’ response to the MacBook Air note-

book.

Baeries That Users Can’t Replace

Following a trend rst set by Apple, most (but not all)

of these ultrabooks are designed so that consumers

are not supposed to change the baery themselves.

These baeries, somemes called “integrated” or

“embedded” baeries, are not the ones with the

hard plasc casings that pass safety specs for users

to handle and typically snap into place in the bot-

tom of your laptop. Non-user replaceable baeries

have more of a s paper cover and are secured into

the laptop with a fastener (usually screws) or, in the

worst case, glue. They require the laptop enclosure

to be removed, something the manufacturers don’t

generally want users to do themselves.

Why It Maers

We like the thin, sleek, light ultrabooks, so why does

it maer whether we can change the baery in our

laptops? Here’s why:

Ultra inconvenient. It’s consumer unfriendly

(perhaps consumer hosle?) to require us to ship o

our laptops for several days to the service facility just

to change a baery. A new baery shouldn’t be a

repair – it should be something we can purchase and

install ourselves.

Discourages longer use and reuse. It’s much more

sustainable to prolong the life of a computer and

refurbish it for a second owner to “reuse” it than it

is to simply recycle it. So it’s important that manu-

facturers make it easy to use our products a long as

possible, and then to refurbish them for subsequent

owners.

One thing that makes this harder is requiring the

user to go back to the manufacturer to install a new

baery (or for any basic repair or upgrade). While

some people (with the right tools) can gure out how

to open up their laptops and replace the baery,
