@tommi@pan.rent @codemonkeymike@fosstodon.org ah alright. I bought my current one in 2019 so I guess that's a while ago now! I've had it open a few times, only for memory and hard drives, but still. I like that I can do that.
Still the comment about the second hand models stands - but of course they won't be the latest thing.
Edit: the newest models still have hardware maintenance manuals available to download for them - so even if they're a pig to open up - it is possible and there are instructions to do so :)

@sarajw@front-end.social @tommi@pan.rent @codemonkeymike@fosstodon.org I've only had to open up my 2023 thinkpad p14s a couple times and it's been far better than when I had to repair my partner's dell fwiw. Not great, not like thinkpads used to be, but still a bit less awful.

@sarajw@front-end.social @codemonkeymike@fosstodon.org I speak from very limited, extremely frustrating experience, with a Carbon X1 gen 10. I don’t know abiut else but I did not hear good things.
