What laptop has a replaceable display??

• smoldesu 5y ago
  Many. For a lot of laptop models, you can remove the bezel around the display and unscrew the display from the topcase. That allows you to upgrade/replace panels as-needed. Apple notoriously builds their displays directly into the topcase, which means that when your display malfunctions, or the screen cracks, you generally have to replace the entire top component instead of just the broken part. That's why anything "breaking above the hinge" on a Macbook will run you $600+ to fix no matter who you're paying to replace it.

  My Dell Precision. I've had it replaced twice under warranty. Don't recommend

    Apple replaced the display on my 2017 MacBook Pro under warranty too (because the backlight died). They're definitely replaceable, just not (intended to be) user-replaceable.

      It is user replaceable. A guy came to my house with the new screen and a screwdriver set and swapped it out right there on my desk. Even left an extra bezel behind because they like to warp after months of opening and closing the lid, causing even more backlight bleed. My Precision is incredibly upgradable and user serviceable (I've swapped my wifi module, ram, m.2s, and serviced the fans myself), but it has a horrible screen (because of severe backlight bleed), trackpad, weighs nearly 10 pounds, and has a battery life of less than 30 minutes after 3 years. Oh, and let's not talk about the thermals... I wouldn't buy it again.
