Imagine: 3 years from now you will sell the new MacBook v1.
Will the resale value be influenced by the fact that the battery is not replaceable?

if Gen 2 is signifcantly better or go through a price cut. it's going to hit the resale value HARD!
kinda like what Air went through.
Is it not replaceable? or just not "user" replaceable.
iFixit has the answer: The battery is glued down using high-speed cameras. The new MacBook will be a throwaway device once the battery needs a replacement.
it will not. If you want to lose the least amount of money, buy the base model. As for the battery, as long as you plug it in whenever practical the battery can be almost brand new after 3 years which will help the resale value. My 2012 Macbook air has 90 cycles on it and the battery health is around 96%.
What's the consensus now on the best way to charge batteries to prolong their life? Wait until it gets as low as you can and then charge or charge a little bit as much as you can? What about full discharge cycles?

I dunno, I doubt this. wouldn't be cost effective for Apple/AppleCare to replace a machine completely if a battery goes bad.
MOTHER OF GOD! 90 cycles on a 2012! That is impressive! When does it count as a cycle? When it goes under 50% correct?
I just seen someone above me post the cycle terms. Interesting didn't know there was half and 1/5 cycles lol.
