I mean, given they sell Thinkpads, the bar is likely to be easier to reach for them. I do wonder by what metric of "repairable" they mean. The quote has him saying batteries and SSDs, but those are already fixable in most of their existing line up. It's the RAM (so many are soldered, even in the Thinkpad line) I'm mostly thinking about, and there's also the screen and keyboard, two other common failure points.
Really? My RAM is always falling out. I can't even chuck my laptop over the fence and cushion it's landing on my trampoline without my RAM just falling out. Fucking shoddy.
Yeah I think I'd shake the fans out of the thing before I'd be able to unseat a stick of RAM. My theory is that anyone who unseat it without opening it had a bad clip
