All the repairability in the world is moot if the laptop isn't good enough to sell itself on its other merits. If it turns out to be hot and loud or have poor battery life for example, that's going to steer many to buy elsewhere.
My framework hat tips you. Still drains while “off”.
Probably because this is not repairability, but rather dividing device into smaller not repairable parts that can be replaced by purchasing parts from the manufacturer at inflated cost.
Much worse compared to other laptops where everything is soldered and glued together and you have to throw the whole thing away when something fails
Is there any laptop that you can replace individual pieces of the motherboard? Laptop motherboards are all the same.
With a steady hand and good hot air station you can replace anything you want. Problem is getting the replacement chips.
