The thinkpad trackpads are $15 new. If you want to get repairable laptops just get business laptops.

Don’t be fooled by the marketing, many Dell, HP and Lenovo laptops have those benefits on top of a huge aftermarket which framework doesn’t have and can’t leverage. You can way cheaper buy a broken laptop of the same model and fix yours with it whereas framework will only have their niche market which won’t be cheaper.

Broke my t480s screen, found a replacement from a german online store, ordered it and it came to my address in croatia in a day or two. Went to a local repair shop and had it installed in less than 20 minutes. Imagine doing the same with a macbook, lol.

You can do it yourself next time in under 7 even for a first time. Its very easy. I did it in 3 minutes my first time.
