Unfortunately it's a bit more complicated than it originally appeared.
OK, but from what you've written, it still sounds like me like the kind of
engineers at the "old HP" (Corvallis) would have definitely stuck with 3
batteries and a switcher and not the 4 battery/linear regulator scheme! If
you figure that people might replace the batteries even just 10 times over the
life of the device, having to do so only 7 or 8 times (20-30% savings) adds up
to more savings than the extra cost of the switching regulators.
I'm sure that with the right parts we could do a lot better than the 20-30%
listed above, but it may not be worth the effort of the labor to install
them, especially when you can just run off of USB power most of the time.
Agreed, it's not really a huge amount of money for an individual one way or
the other, it's really just a sign of how HP has fallen after the
Carly-inspired split, which is sad.
