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.

    Are you under the impression that PCs and laptops are different? Because they’re not. The word you are actually looking for is “desktop”, but OP didn’t use that word.

      Easy enough to imply it from all of the other comments in the thread, and the fact that the op referred to the ThinkPad in the title. You’re correct, and it’s not your fault the op used the wrong word, but context indicates that they were talking about desktop PCs.

        Half the comments in the thread are about Framework - a laptop manufacturer. Are you illiterate?

          Are those half of the comments illiterate? Bots? Ads?

            No, they’re just from people who understand the definition of “PC”.
