It's definitely much better than Apple, which will put a lot of work into preventing anyone but themselves being able to repair Apple hardware. If a third-party technician gets the means to repair a laptop, without any pseudo-franchising shenanigans, that's worth a lot nowadays.

He says 80% will be repairable by customers or channel partners.

Apple is probably well above that already. They already offer repair service for their phones, tablets and laptops.

Also, when I stopped paying attention to thinkpads (due to them botching a warranty repair) ~100% were repairable. You could get schematic diagrams, etc.

Dropping that to 80% is a huge regression.


Well, Thinkpad is not the only product of Lenovo
