Actually, I find that to be quite genius.
The alternative I would have gone with, though, would be a jackshaft opener.
It would have more fun to just cut the duct and stick it thru, Then see if the furnace can help keep the grease warm and also lubricate it with cat hair and dust bunnies.
I've seen some newer types that don't use the chain at all, they connect directly to the axle that has the springs on it.
Example: 6072H-O Wall Mount Garage Door Opener
amazon guys have had the plastic clutch break, part is unavailable separately, So I checked to see if Chamberlain makes one.

OKay.... DELL SUCKS. They deserve a permanent place in the Hall of Shame.
Imagine your laptop motherboard going to hell for some reason, and you CAN'T REMOVE THE SSD WITH YOUR DATA ON IT because it is hard-soldered onto the motherboard that is dead. And I thought soldered RAM was bad!! WOW.
This guy is pretty amazing...

So does Lenovo....and a bunch of others. That penny saved over the volume of computers sold is a nice bonus for the execs.
And planned obsolescence of the device to buy another.
And planned obsolescence of the device to buy another.
Looking from Dell's perspective:
If we socket the SSD, the selling price will go up and people will buy another brand that has soldered SSD.
Looking from most buyers' persepective:
Brand xxx is 20 bucks cheaper than Dell's, same specs, same capability. Why throw away 20 bucks just for the name?
From any manufacturers' perspective:
Yes, it's customer unfriendly to not have a socketed SSD. Yet every socket increases the risk of a big failure, which is also customer unfriendly.
My perspective: Backups. It's just as possible for the SSD to go belly up as anything else on the board. Just like you have to assume anything you put into the stock market might be lost, you have to assume anything you store on your computer might be lost. I'd rather have the socketed SSD, but I suspect the majority of customers don't give a whit about it, or don't even know what it means.
