Their job is to sell tools to fix stuff, did you even read the ars article, it's just clickbait. Lenovo failed because they didn't provide repairability score for their laptop models. nothing to do with if it's actual repairable or not.
I've repaired Lenovo before, aftermarket items all available, change screens, keyboard, battery, simple stuff only though, no issues, everything is designed so it's easy to change.
I would not say the same about HP or DELL, shit enterprise laptops, and the consumer ones are worse.
Yeah. I can say the same about most HP laptops starting with pro.
Yet my oldest still on use laptop is HP EliteBook 2560p is quite the different. The bottom cover opens completely without screw driver and even the cpu fan in it's entirety is out in the open to be able to clean every now and then.
And?
The article was not relevant to my statement.
I wasn't talking about Lenovo.
