Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo’s new T-series business laptops, which earned our highest honor with a 10/10 repairability score.
But why would you is my point? On a desktop you can upgrade. But on a laptop, by the time it would need a CPU upgrade, there’s enough other shit wrong that it doesn’t make sense financially.
If the CPU isn’t socketed it ain’t a 10/10.
How often are you replacing laptop CPUs again?
Can’t since they’re no longer socketed.

Are you in the right community?
Reducing ewaste for starters, ensuring i can keep making the most out of the hardware.
Repairability?
CPU failure is rare. Screen, keyboard, storage media failure much more likely.
It is. How do i upgrade the CPU on a laptop again?

Are you passive aggressively gatekeeping fucking lemmy? That wouldn’t reduce ewaste. It would take more materials to make each unit too.
How would just swapping out the CPU vs dumping the whole unit not reduce ewaste?!
The CPUs rarely need replacing in a laptop.
A socketed design uses more materials to make vs a soldiered one.
If you make 10,000 laptops and spend the extra material on a socketed CPU that maybe 2 would make use of, you have wasted material.
Dramatic punctuation?!?;/“‘
