Regurgitated or not, I'm expressing my opinion. And I don't like Kool Aid for the record. Sorry you are not happy with the post.

Oh, I dunno: it looks big enough to house an AA so this can be a legitimate gripe.
It depends: Context is everything
For the AA. on a dive trip, I either need to pack a bunch of rechargeable AA batteries, or a couple and an charger. Plus each and every time I open the battery compartment, there is a risk of damage to the o rings or water ingress, damaging the unit. I'm not going to use disposable batteries because that's not environmentally friendly
On the other hand with a rechargeable battery you only need a charging lead which is USB and connects to any other chargers you generally take. Having had actual experience of rechargeable sealed batteries, I know that after almost 5 years and 600 dives, my and my wife's computer are still showing 35 hrs after a full charge. So little if any degradation - especially in our hot climate.
Now I'm not going to suggest one of the other is better, but I'm going to at least make an argument for both stating the pro's and cons rather than just saying one is rubbish without any justification.
Doesn't the Teric have a rechargeable battery that is not user replaceable? I would take one of those in a heart beat. Rechargeable battery and all. Compared to Perdix it has compass. And I can wear it as a really large wrist watch year round.
Having said that, I suspect the i770 would be just fine for most recreational divers.

Yes. And Bluetooth for downloads. So, no ports to open and close and no contacts to corrode. Just send it in for service and a new battery every few years. I really, REALLY like mine.

Yes, but it's not an AA-sized computer.
Not to criticise the Teric
Shearwaters Bluetooth can be a bit flakey
I'm more than happy with a cable I can plug in to download and charge. I don't need another charger but that can be mitigated if you have something else that needs the same charger..
It horses for courses and down to personal preferences rather than one system is better than another
