[QUOTE=barryem;3649379This is the first I've heard of that Washington state law. Can you cite some sources? I have mixed feelings about that. While I'd sure love to see all devices have replaceable batteries I'm not real comfortable with government telling them they have to do that. As it is we get nothing but disposable devices. Even my last two laptops don't have replaceable batteries and I hate that.

Washington Bill Would Make it Illegal to Sell Electronics That Don’t Have Easily Replaceable Batteries

I think it would be a good thing. With portable electronics getting more and more expensive, to have it be not so useful when the battery goes is nuts. Some devices are made so the battery cannot be replaced such as the Kindle Oasis 2 and the Microsoft Surfacebook. They are not cheap and they should not have to be replaced when thy work other than the battery.
