Lovely.... my computer Is a swall computer (7"x7") and I can't even see the battery. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000006787/intel-nuc.html Even lovelier: the board is screwed in tightly and I can't get the board off to access the battery. I'll take it somewhere and let someone else worry about it. On a positive note the box is about 8 years old and the battery is only rated for 3 if it isn't used. It has been sitting unused at my parent's place for 7 of those 8 years.
