The right to repair movement advocates for improved device repairability, but laptop manufacturers have largely stalled. A recent report by the Public Interest Research Group highlighted that while smartphones have become more repairable, laptops have seen minimal improvement. Major brands like Apple, Dell, and Lenovo scored poorly, with Lenovo receiving an F grade due to a lack of data submission. The report emphasizes the importance of disassembly ease in determining repairability, showing that Apple laptops still struggle significantly in this area.
We ... heavily weigh the disassembly score because we think this better reflects what consumers think a repairability score indicates.
Even with some improvement in disassembly, Apple laptops still fare the worst by far for ease of disassembly.
