Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo’s new T-series business laptops, which earned our highest honor with a 10/10 repairability score.
One thing to highlight: T-series Lenovo laptops are mainstream business products shipped at a huge scale.
This is not a small-scale experimental product for the tinkerers. This may define the biggest laptop segment if it works out well. It might be the first time in a while that something like this hits such a huge market.
These particular models are about to be released, hitting the market. With all renown Lenovo got for good long-term support, this is their most repairable product as of yet.
Even though they were considered repairable, they are now better than ever at that, and they require as little expense as possible to replace certain parts.
I don’t know what’s so hard about that. They had it good, they made it better.
there isn’t really anything revolutionary described in the article (maybe with an exception of these detachable ports).
i have no idea how much things got worse in the last few years, so it is possible they are fixing something they broken lately, but again, presenting it as something new, when it is in fact something that thinkpads were known for since the last ice age and is why people are using them, is just strange to me.
it is really on the level of “omg you guys, did you know that ferrari is doing really fast cars?”

wtf are you talking about? this isn’t “hitting the market”, this is staple of the thinkpads for ever.

thinkpads were always repairable, that and durability is their number one attribute. you present it as if it were somehow new thing.
