Please remain cheap.
Don't be a an overpriced Crapple

They're not inexpensive, but they're also not Apple/Sony overpriced either.

The 15.6" should really offer a better resolution than 1366x768 for it's $1399 starting price though.

removal parts that are small..... I personally is a messy person, hence removal pad in my case is pretty bad coz if I lost it, it'll probably cost a pretty penny to replace it, not to mention the possibility to bend and break.

From an engineering perspective, the reliability of the interconnect between the removable touchpad and the board will be of considerable interest. I have had a few laptops where interconnects are the first hardware items that fail - like the charger pin and VGA port.
