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.

The most recycling friendly laptop is the one you already on, isn't it? In addition, if somebody dropped a quarter of that price on a laptop, then used It's in exchange for a different laptop every couple years, couldn't they have a half decent system for around a decade without having to worry about a laptop that's expensive up front but easy to upgrade?

I'm not very good with hardware replacement myself, but based on some of the comments here, if I needed a laptop I might consider a used ThinkPad
