FTA: "Repairability is a selling point for the Surface Laptop SE in particular because the laptop is being marketed to schools, where laptops can be dropped, spilled on, or otherwise abused by kids who may or may not know better."
This should read: "... where laptops will be dropped, spilled on, and abused by kids who know better."
Besides, many kids enjoy learning by way of repairing. Especially if it works afterword.
- pacaro 5y agoI worked on a project in the mid 90s where our customer (an electric utility) wanted to issue rugged laptops to field engineers. The relevant comment from a manger at the utility was "you have to realize, these are guys who can break a hammer"
