| + | [* black] Thanks to our friends at [https://www.macrumors.com/2018/11/07/2018-macbook-air-battery-individually-replaceable/|MacRumors|new_window=true], we had a hunch that this battery might come out a bit easier than the adhesive nightmares inside its [guide|73480|siblings|stepid=148072|new_window=true]. |

Each of these ultraportables boast more than 10 hours of battery life. |
| + | [* icon_note] That said, both of the aforementioned competitors are running Intel's U-series processors, which have a significantly higher TDP, so we're not too impressed. |
