Dell XPS 13/15/17 are super repairable, too. Unlike the macbooks, the battery is replaceable. On 15"/17" models the RAM is socketed. The SSD drives are all standard socketed. And nothing is glued, everything is screwed in with a good replacement parts market available after about a year of the laptop coming out. I've just gotten the XPS 9310 and 9700 and they are very repairable. Only things missing are the RAM on a 13" version and wifi cards being soldered in (but you can theoretically use a different wi-fi card on a 17" as it has a spare M.2 slot). Before that I've performed upgrades from XPS 15 9550 to 9560 and 9570 by swapping the motherboard and couple other parts. So it's not like Apple _at all_. It's more like the opposite of Apple
