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.

And with how easy it has traditionally been to do that same replacement on ThinkPad T-series I was shocked the first time I encountered it.

holy shit, it's not just 4 screws anymore?

The answer is that it depends on the model and that you can't trust the T anymore, the T14 Gen3 (note that it's T14, not T14s) is as easy as always:
