ThinkPads are historically some of the most repairable laptops. They are essentially designed to be taken apart with a single Phillips screwdriver and no special tools.
- geocrasher 6y agoMost HP's and Dell's I've worked on were similarly simple to repair. Thinkpads are particularly good however :)

- aspenmayer 6y agoThat’s why I said essentially. They could do better, as could most in the industry. Competition is usually good in this regard for most laptops. The thinner they are, the less easy the repair can be.
