Why don't we have laptops powered by 18650 batteries instead of proprietary cells? You could get new ones with better capacity whenever you need to, they're completely standardized, and they have all the best battery tech because they're used in high-end flashlights.

Older laptops did use 18650's packaged into bricks. Nowadays batteries need to be slimmer than an 18650 can afford

they take up a lot of space

There is no reason why there shouldn't be a standard laptop voltage, no reason at all, just greed

>same voltage for a portable ultrabook without a fan and a desktop replacement trice the size
Yeah, that's going to work well.

There probably is a reason. Different processors and mobos. Different components.
But I agree with the basic premise that companies make shit incompatible on purpose. Libre hardware when?

They all run on 12 volts ya dip.

>restricted to standard of 11V because that's all this ultra book needs
>computer throttles because fans kick in
It's something that doesn't have to be a standard, only the charger if you want to appease consumers
