Hey loungers...
I see there a lot of devices with built-in, rechargeable batteries; phones, tablets, media players, etc...
So, is the deal with that is - if the device is cheap and the battery dies, it's essentially disposable?
For example, a cheap $50 tablet that dies after 2 years - the cost of having to pay to the company to install a new battery would exceed the price of just buying a new one, right? Plus it would be outdated by then.
But what about more expensive devices with a built-in battery? What do you think is the price point to actually ship out a device with a dead battery for a replacement; a $100, $200 device and up, or...?
