Perhaps inflating it with upgrades, but very few original parts remain on my ThinkPad X230. Swapped parts include the motherboard, RAM, SSDs, wireless card, fingerprint reader, keyboard, LCD panel, speakers, cooler, battery, screws, bezel, palmrest, and hinges.
The multi-tool pen in my pocket everyday carry too. Originally had ruler markings, Phillips and slotted bits, stylus tip, and a level. Didn't need the level and wanted it shorter so it fit in my key pouch, so I took all the parts out, sawed off part of the barrel, and put it all back together, sans level. Refills are easily available online or can be crafted simply by popping the ink stick out of a regular ballpoint pen and cutting it short.
My 90s Chevy is also very repairable and the parts are still very plentiful. In no mood to get something newer, especially after seeing the engines and touchscreens of some my friends' newer cars.
