What is a product you'll pay a little more for?
Where you absolutely refuse to go the cheap way.
For me its deodorant. Everything else I've found but my chosen brand fails me.

Television. I absolutely cannot stand TVs with bad picture quality. I look at it for hours every evening so it’s worth it to get something that doesn’t bother me.
I bought a cheap TCL TV for a monitor for our security cameras. I have never heard of a TV that you need to select an input every time you turn it on. It's quite annoying.
This but for monitors, I bought the drawing tablet I have because I cannot stand color shifting and bad color rep. Same with my monitors, if the colors are so off that one is visibly more blue than the other I get so annoyed I dont use it.
Luckily enough laptops tend to have pretty color-accurate screens thanks to everyone trying to copy apple (i still miss removeable batteries)
I don’t miss removable batteries at all. My MacBook Pro does 10+ hours on a single charge. I’d rather have that than having to shut down my laptop every 2 hours to swap the battery, and having to lug around several batteries to get the same runtime.
Battery life on laptops is so good nowadays that I simply stopped thinking about it. I don’t even bring my charger with me anymore because I know I won’t need it.
You can still have high capacity batteries that are removable? The point is that in 5 years that battery will probably only hold 5% of the charge it does now, and it will cost a fuckton more and be way more difficult to replace than just swapping it.
Being removable and having a large capacity are not mutually exclusive
They are kind of mutually exclusive, for several reasons.
First. a non-removable battery allows for more flexibility as to the shape of the battery, which allows you to cram more battery into a laptop as you can more optimally use the space you have.
But a bigger reason is that lithium batteries are dangerous, if punctured or otherwise damaged they can catch fire in a quite spectacular way. This means that if you have a removable battery it needs to be inside some kind of protective casing. This takes up space, so you end up with a smaller capacity battery for the same space.
Also, batteries do not degrade that quickly anymore, and they aren’t that expensive to replace either.
Wait till you hear about thinkpads with built in and removable batteries. That makes them hot swapable!
