Seems like they took a cue from apple's 2000 powerbook G3 pismo, which is IMO the best laptop ever made. It was the first laptop with wifi, and the first with firewire; it had TWO swappable battery trays, one on either side, once of which could take a swappable DVD drive, CD burner, or zip drive as well, and to top it off the keyboard opens up on a hinge in about 2 seconds you have complete access to all the internals. Mine runs leopard fine even though it's only a 400mhz cpu. Why apple didn't look into their own past I have no idea. http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powerbook_g3/stats/powerbook_g3_400_fw.html
