I'm more of a desktop user these days but even I can see the benefits of a modular laptop design. It was something highlighted to me during my recent reboot of my old laptop:

One thing that is highlighted very early on the EOMA68 campaign page is the cost of getting a laptop fixed. Part of that is the need to return to a single vendor or support company for repairs, especially when a laptop is within the warranty period.
It's not always the case that you get everything fixed at zero cost under warranty, and there are always time costs and secondary expenses associated with shipping a broken product back to the vendor.
Anyway, I just thought it would be interesting to show the inside of a laptop that probably blows through the EOMA-68 laptop's power budget several times over - just check out that cooling solution! ;-)
i know, man... :)
you joined quite recently, i don't know if you've seen these:
