In what country are the laptops manufactured?
Which three parts in a laptop have the highest failure rate, and what are those rates?
What I can’t wrap my head around is, a consumer that feels strongly about repairing laptops themselves, for clearly non-economic reasons, but would balk at the cost of a laptop manufactured in the West, which is 100% of the labor the day the laptop ships, because then the computer would cost 3 times as much.

- samstave 5y agoDo you have an exploded diagram of all the individual parts?
- nrp 5y agoWe'll be publishing repair guides showing all the parts and assembly steps. In the meantime, you can check out some of the images that show modules: https://frame.work/products/laptop-diy-edition https://frame.work/products/laptop-diy-edition

- nrp 5y agoYes... good catch. We wondered if people would start scanning that image. That will redirect into our product pages and repair guides before we start shipping units out.
