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.

I’m not unfortunately. I had to fix a coworkers thinkpad t14 gen 3. The motherboard failed. Then the replacement was throwing fan errors for no reason, finally went away when I updated the bios. Now its going back to lenovo because there are graphics artifacts on the screen during normal use. It being made out of slightly better plastic doesn’t mean anything, they cheaped out on everything.

I don’t think I’ve been in those subreddits unfortunately. I guess Lenovo fired all their good engineers? My father has a Lenovo all-in-one. I actually cracked the screen trying to open it to upgrade the ram. To get to the motherboard you need to remove the front bezel, but the screen is just a thin panel that juts right to the edge with 1 or 2mm of space to spare. It’s a crapshoot whether or not you can undo all the plastic snaps without accidently grabbing the screen. It really is affecting every computer in their lineup

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
