First off, if you have work/proprietary code on the laptop you should be asking the company to fix it and follow their procedure.
Second, if we're talking about my laptop.. I use Linux and a fairly open hardware device so I simply order replacement parts online and fix it myself. I can't imagine sending my laptop away to get it fixed.
If I can't fix it.. I remove all working parts and toss in a supply box. I toss the device carcass in a pile in my garage in hopes of finding a use some day, and order a new laptop.

- troyvit 4y agoHave you read the other answers here? It's absurd the levels you have to go through to repair a Mac these days. You can't even remove the drive, so you have to thoroughly wipe the disk? What if some aspect of repair is centered on the disk itself? Ugh yeah GP has it right. Start with a laptop you can _actually repair_ if you wanna repair a laptop.

- MisterSandman 4y agoMost laptops that compete with Macs have the same annoying limitations, barring SSD sometimes (Dell XPS, Microft Surface). And even still, doesn't change my point in that OC'd answer is irrelevant.
- troyvit 4y agoI think we just have different criteria for competition. Repairability and OS choice are my top two. Macs are pretty bad at both but great for other things.
