Hello. Many of the older thinkpads were regarded as being peak for the ability to repair and easily see into them at both the hardware and software levels.
I was wondering, what PC, if any, is similar in this regard? Aside from building your own PC ofc. Any opinions are welcome. Thank you.
Not really true any more. The build quality isn’t as good as it used to be and the upgradability has suffered too.
While I agree, it’s hard to find a cheap and reliable laptop that’s not a thinkpad. The keyboards have suffered and some of the models are harder to repair. But they’re still spill proof, tough, and have lots of ports. I don’t regret my thinkpad t14 gen 3 purchase. I might get a thinkpad t14 gen 2 soon.
The models are getting imposible to repair. Everything is plastic and isn’t designed to be taken apart. It’s lenovos fault, their build quality is crap across the line. Of all the computers I’ve fixed (which is a lot), lenovos are by far the worst to deal with
