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.
If so, then the sum of the parts is truly greater than the whole - explaining why Lenovo would want to get into the parts business badly enough to do this. I imagine they’ll reduce the cost noticeably to encourage adaption, then jack it back up once they feel they’re firmly entrenched enough.
No, parts are a complementary business (bcs of how the business/market is set up, life cycle of the laptops, the price of the parts is arbitrary, not marketed, etc - it doesn’t exists without the core business).
What makes financial sense doesn’t really have to make any economical sense unfortunately.
But I would want to live in such a place where it would.
Having said that, Lenovo sure seems to be making some sensible headlines recently.
