We're hoping undoing mistakes is a good step towards actual progress


In the specific case of the battery it's unlikely to get any bigger than 100Wh as that would make it illegal to take on planes in the US.


Some ruggedized laptops have two separate batteries for hot-swapping while keeping the PC on, and this way you can take a laptop with more than 100 Wh on a plane. The same way I take a 95 Wh laptop with a 75 Wh power bank. So never say never :)


I've never had a good experience with swappable batteries.


As long as consumers are willing to shell out several thousand dollars per iteration of mistake-undoing then it's likely that some day you'll see actual progress.
