Should iFixit give all laptops terrible scores for not being desktops?
- mkl 4y agoNo, some laptops are designed for easy repair and upgrades. My 2010 ThinkPad simply has unscrewable panels to access the RAM and hard disk, and Framework is even better.
- Wowfunhappy 4y agoYes, but even the Framework is more difficult to repair than many desktops, and certainly less upgradable. Most devices are going to make some sort of tradeoff, the question is which ones are reasonable given the upsides.
- Nullabillity 4y agoA laptop is definitely going to score lower than a desktop. That doesn't mean all laptops are equally terrible, or that there isn't a market for laptops with a much longer life but slightly worse power efficiency.
