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.
Framework is the best option these days for upgrades and repairs
Aren’t they really expensive? Sure if you have the money, but what do you recommend as a budget option?
Pay now or pay later.
Many people just don’t have £2000 to spend on a laptop, no matter how much it could save them in the log run.

Well ThinkPad back in the days weren’t cheap either but then even a 2nd hand one could still last a while and one could still get them fixed.
I got my PC built for me by a local computer shop for $100. Worth it to me for the time it saved plus they did a 24 hour stress test on it to make sure all the components worked.
There is no “budget option” if you value repairability, nor has there ever been. The best you can do is buy a secondhand ThinkPad or other workstation laptop. If you don’t like that option, make more money.
