Comment on Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops

Does 10/10 mean it’s got RAM and drives accessible without needing to disassemble the whole fucking thing?

Nice to see both aren’t soldered onto the motherboard, but we’ve still gone backwards in the last 20 years.

Back in the day every screw on thinkpads had a series of little symbols on them to tell you which ones you needed to undo in order to get to the ram, storage, keyboard, and fans. Without needing a repair manual. I hope they brought that back!

  Read the article. They’re using replaceable modules.
