You left out IO but oh well - ifixit has had 5 laptops that have recieved a 10/10 for repairability since 2010 and only 2 were released this decade (one was Framework).

I don't think you can upgrade the CPU for a single laptop on this list, let alone many of the other components and certainly not for hardware that came out after the original laptop release. Framework has that upgradability, that repairability etc.
- jacquesm 4y agoIf you could then they likely would have been quite a bit more expensive and thicker... That's the problem with all this stuff the form factors and other trade offs regarding cost have relentlessly pushed us in this direction.
- jjcon 4y agoNot sure what that has to do with the current conversation but the Framework is only .2mm thicker than a macbook
- margalabargala 4y agoI've never actually had occasion to replace the IO bits on my laptops, with the exception of a screen on an Acer that I replaced in about 2012. Also required nothing but a screwdriver. Agree that you can't upgrade the CPU or other components on them. Agree that Framework allows this and is excellent. My only intention was to refute this patently false claim: > Nearly all laptops manufactured after 2010 have storage, memory, WiFi and IO soldered to the motherboard.
