I agree with the other comments here saying that it smells of AI-generated marketing puff-piece --- ThinkPads have always been very repairable, with the official service manuals published (which is more of a guide to disassembly/reassembly, but that's sufficient especially given the availability of (leaked) schematics). Older Dell Latitudes are not too bad either.
- ed_mercer 8mo agoThinkPads have definitely not always been very repairable. The t480 was the last solid option, and it went downhill from there.
