The biggest one that I’m glad to never have to worry about:

User replaceable battery

You can even put a bigger battery in down the line if you wish. No planned obsolescence.

I mean, all the dell business laptops I've purchased have a replaceable battery. You just have to unscrew the bottom panel to do it. But no, they don't have a swappable battery.

My experience with laptops in recent years is that having a replaceable battery is the exception.

Yes! I don't really rely on the battery that much but it's nice to know I could buy a bigger one in the future.

Worth pointing out it's not swappable, and many people have found the battery life a little lacking.
