Why? If they release a new hardware architecture twice a year, there’s been about 30 of them in 14 years, so if repairability is uncorrelated with time, there still is a 1:30 chance this would be the most repairable.

Also, there’s pressure to improve repairability. Many jurisdictions have right to repair laws now.

I don’t think https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2024/1799/oj/eng directly applies to laptops, but I think it eventually will.
