Most people I know would like it too. Are we  not a part of &amp;quot;the market&amp;quot; ?&lt;p&gt;As a kid I would confidently open up any electronic device without worrying too much about breaking it. A radio, tv, toys, remote controlled devices, speakers, headphones, laptops, disk drives, etc. These days I do not find myself opening up electronic devices as much. More from them fear of breaking them or the hoops that I have to go through to do it.&lt;p&gt;That exploration really taught me valuable things.&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t have kids yet, but if and when I do, I&amp;#x27;d want them to open up anything that they are not sure how it works internally, under the shiny box. I am not sure if they will be as confident about opening up common device of their time be it a mac or an iPhone or a tablet or any such &amp;quot;tightly locked&amp;quot; device.&lt;p&gt;I hope I can build, nurture and keep their curiosity alive.</text></comment>

There&amp;#x27;re lots of upgradeable laptops out there, esp. in corporate segment.</text></comment>
