MODERATORS
So you're drawing the conclusion that a more repairable device is inherently going to be worse than a less repairable device but that's not true.
A sample size of two is hardly statistically relevant. Especially because you're completely discounting the possibility that you were unusually lucky with your Mac or unusually unlucky with the Zenbook.
Gluing the battery in, in no way makes it last longer. The biggest problem here seems to be that the fan profile is not optimised, but that won't have a significant effect on the battery because while it increases charge discharge cycles, it doesn't increase them by that much. You probably just had a dud battery.
