I think that this is a "Big Laptop" competition. Dell is going to monkey Apple and HP as well as several others are going to follow suit.
Sealed box machines are not a disruptive technology so there isn't any real incentive to move to (apart from personal preference) it unless your manufacturer railroads you into it. Even at that, the Fed and Military would have a real cow under that architecture since they chop up drives are part of their data security process.
Also, in my opinion, there will be plenty of people who will have a hard time justifying spending $1500+ for a machine to only allow it to potentially live 3 years. That being said, I do think it will shrink the market for repairable laptops... in about 5 years.

  • 1 for personal email
  • 1 for work
  • 1 to use on sites I KNOW will send me junk mail
  • 1 for my moonlighting business

There is no practical way of keeping these addresses separate without a client that is designed to pull from multiple addresses (and keep the data stored in separate files for legal reasons.
