> Apple made the same promises. When?

• hedora 3y ago
  100% of their laptops, tablets and phones have been repairable in-store for 15+ years. Lenovo is promising this for customers or channel partners. Apple doesn’t have much of a sales channel, so the promise is similar to current in-store practices at Apple.

    I don't consider "replace half fucking motherboard coz a connector or chip got bad" to be called "repair" Apple devices are "repairable" if you consider replacing an entire car engine for faulty spark plug as "repair"

    That was not my experience. The Ive-era "impossibly thin" MacBook Pro I had at work a few years ago developed a swollen battery. The local Apple Store had to ship it out for repair. That machine later failed again and its replacement subsequently had a problem that required putting in a new logic board, which also required them shipping it off, so I was without a computer for about a week each time. Although there are two Apple Stores within a 15-minute drive of my house, neither of them could handle a pretty straightforward repair on site.
