Ask Slashdot: Is There A Laptop That Uses Rechargeable 18650 Cell Batteries?

"Present laptop dying, battery of course," writes long-time Slashdot reader ClarkMills.It uses proprietary pouch Lithium cells. Wouldn't it be great to just swap in a new set of 18650s? Okay, it may not be a thin laptop but it would save me from turfing a perfectly good laptop otherwise... The original submission drew some interesting comments -- including one from long-time Slashdot reader thegreatbob suggesting a used laptop might be the only option. "This seems to be due to the notion that 'thinner!' and 'lighter!' are more important than 'doesn't periodically turn into an incendiary pillow!' " But are there other options? Share your own thoughts in the comments. Is there a laptop that uses rechargeable 18650 cell batteries?
