And the repair parts will be repairable too. Batteries, SSDs and more will no longer be sealed into casing

Well, yeah. They kinda have to by EU law in the future. But good to see they start the change now.

But they aren’t repairable now because you keep setting your fucking wrenches on top of them

ThinkPads once were pretty easy to work on and repair, but then the whole soldering stuff to the system board and removing power bridge batteries happened.

If you look at something like a T430, it has access doors for everything on the bottom in addition to being built like a tank.

What a crazy carousel. I still use the t430, which I would call repairable - I just hope that there will be a current motherboard with appropriate CPU For it
