well let us all be honest here, laptops have always been difficult to repair if at all regardless of manufacturer due to custom parts required just to meet the form factor. Desktops only if your not an all in one design are repairable if that is describable but costs of new hardware being so low its usually for many to just replace the whole machine.
I don't even worry about tablet/phone repair. On my iPhone4 I did replace the back glass a bunch of times and was more happy when they changed to anything but glass backs
