    My 17T AB000 finally died on me, the power led won't even come on when it's plugged in.

    So I'm looking for a new laptop, but can't find one made by HP that has a battery that is removable. All of them are all internal.Yes, technically they can be changed, but you have to take the case apart to do it.

    Most of the work I do is in Maya, Substance Painter, Photoshop etc. So I'll need one with a decent processor.

    Any suggestions?

    The ThinkPad P52 is the last workstation I can recall that had a removable battery.

    Most of the new models from numbers of major OEMs do not come with removable batteries anymore.
    It's mostly "integrated" with different hidden power connections. For example, there are some HP laptops, aesthetically seems don't have removable battery, however until u pop off the base cover, the battery connection is the same old pin contact type but to remove that, one have to unscrew to unattach the battery from the PCB...
