80% of products is a little vague - even if 95% of Lenovos product SKUs were consumer repairable that could still mean that all laptops and tablets aren't - they make a lot of rack/server/storage/network products.

"On repairability, we have a plan that by 2025 more than 80 percent of the repair parts will be repaired again so that they they enter into the circular economy to reduce the impact to the environment."
He added: "More than 80 percent of our devices will be able to be repaired at the customer, by the customer or by the channel and we are enabling this with a design for serviceability kind of approach."
This means that "batteries, SSD, many things, will not any longer be sealed into the product but will be available for the customer to be to repaired on site and then save a lot of waste."

Not a lot of servers have sealed batteries or SSDs. It definitely sounds like more consumer/user oriented devices. Servers are already very modular and field serviceable.
- moffkalast 3y agoToo bad that 80% of what Lenovo makes is not really worth buying, especially the low-end stuff. Hopefully this repairable 80% includes the other 20%.
