The machine CAN be repairable by the RIGHT person/independent shop. No need to worry about battery being glued and what not, if you have the money and WANT this machine, just get it and if it breaks (provided NOT by accident) take it to apple and they WILL fix it, if it breaks (INCLUDING accidental damage) outside warranty, make sure you do your due diligence and find yourself a reliable repair tech that can FIX your computer for years to come!

I personally WILL NOT buy this device since I have no money, desire nor need to own it.
