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.

    It looks like they are doing the “cheaping out” things that everyone else has done. And it is common across consumer tier hardware. Sure it may not be a computer, but my Philips trimmer met the same fate in trying to open it. It had a couple broken latches. Find as good business tier hardware you can find, is all I can say. ThinkPads atleast retain all the good traits, plus they officially allow users to open and repair/replace hardware, so they still are better than anything else by a long shot.

      The Dells I’ve come across are all infinately easier to work on, and have had fewer problems. I hope you have a better experience than me, but I can’t recommend anything from Lenovo
