Hello. Many of the older thinkpads were regarded as being peak for the ability to repair and easily see into them at both the hardware and software levels.

I was wondering, what PC, if any, is similar in this regard? Aside from building your own PC ofc. Any opinions are welcome. Thank you.

    Idk, but I’ll tell you Dell and HP desktops are the opposite of the Thinkpad. Every part they can make proprietary, they do make proprietary.

    • Case
    • Motherboard
    • Power Supply
    • CPU Cooler

    Cannot be upgraded or replaced with off the shelf parts.

    If your system dies, you’re expected to just buy a new one and chuck the old one in the bin.
