They can be repaired in the sense that everything in them can be replaced. However they've integrated a lot of components so a lot of things that would traditionally be able to be replaced individually can't be.
You basically have 3 major components in the current Macbook Pro line:
- Logic board - MB/CPU/SSD/RAM
- Top Case - Keyboard/Trackpad/Battery/upper shell
- Display
Then you have minor miscellaneous parts like fans, heatsink, bottom case and wi-fi antenna/vent module.
Surprisingly, the USB-C ports are actually a separate replaceable component, and I believe the 2018s make the headphone jack one as well.
