A triumph of design over usefulness !

I would assume that if Asus can replace it, then so can anyone who's willing to open up the case to their Eee. Why did they make it non-replaceable anyways? That's so inconvenient for users who need to use their laptops for more then the battery life. Somehow I doubt this “non-replaceable” battery will deter the hobbyists.
