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.
Idk, but I’ll tell you Dell and HP desktops are the opposite of the Thinkpad. Every part they can make proprietary, they do make proprietary.
- Case
- Motherboard
- Power Supply
- CPU Cooler
Cannot be upgraded or replaced with off the shelf parts.
If your system dies, you’re expected to just buy a new one and chuck the old one in the bin.

Framework.
But if you are really opposed to that option for whatever reason, you can maybe take a look at iFixit’s repair scores.
Since when framework makes PCs? 🫠 very sketchy comment
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”.
So, you can recommend smartphones too then
Or just read the context of the post
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.

This tread is full of random comments about framework, when the op clearly asked about PCs
Framework absolutely makes PCs. Most notably in the laptop form factor.
