@psiie @PortableDoughnut As luck would have it:

From swappable batteries to replaceable keyboards, Lenovo's new ThinkPad T14 and T16 are the first laptops to score a 10/10 on iFixit's latest repairability test.
...
only a handful of other laptops have received a perfect score. Framework's Laptop 13 and Laptop 16 are on the list, as are several of HP's older EliteBooks and a 2017 Dell Latitude E5270.

In particular, ThinkPad's new design for RAM (LPCAMM2) keeps everything thin without resorting to direct solder. That seems like a huge win for repair and upgradability.

A ThinkPad finally hit iFixit's perfect repairability score — it's a right-to-repair win and puts the rest of the laptop industry on notice

As laptop prices rise, it's great to see a company take repairability seriously. Here's how Lenovo's T14 and T16 climbed to the top of the rankings.
