It's being compared to things like a Thinkpad: the manual for my T430 has guides to walk you through how to replace every single part inside, as well as the product numbers for each part so you can order individual replacements yourself. Not only is everything easily replaceable and upgradable, but they actually help you do it!

- mschuster91 9y agoThinkpads were/are for enterprises with mass deployments and enough IT staff that needs to be able to fix stuff instead of sending it in to a repair center and wait for two weeks.
- haldean 9y agoSure, but motivation aside, it's nice for someone like me who is buying their own laptop and wants something they can repair and upgrade, too.
