ASUS EEE T91 has a non-replaceable battery – Why ASUS, why?
The term “Non-removable battery” is quite often used in case of Apple products, but looks like ASUS has started following their path too. After using internal battery in ASUS EEE 1008HA, ASUS has decided to do the same in EEE T91 tablet.
Removable battery makes so many things simple for the end-user like:
- He need not go for the expensive official battery after the battery worns off after an year or so
- He won’t have to go to service center just to get the battery replaced
- He cannot carry extra-batteries for those long trips
- He can use extended batteries
Commentary: Naturally, a lot of people, who were very interested in the T91 have become very annoyed due to fact that T91 does not comes with a removable battery. Not a lot of people wish to spend $150+ on a battery alone. Most of the third party batteries are sold under $60, which are well in-reach of a normal consumer. ASUS needs to understand that fact soon, otherwise they will loose a lot of potential customers.
