Considering that ThinkPads are as beloved as they are for their repairability, I would have assumed Lenovo to score higher
Maybe, their consumer-grade laptops aren't as repairable as the ThinkPads. The article linked within the article also mentions, that they went from "F" last year to "C".
Oh, I missed that one. That's a huge bump
I replaced a fan on my Lenovo ThinkPad so yeah, it wasn't difficult except for that moment of adding the right amount of thermal paste.
