    For laptops the battery replacements are easy to do usually. Apple is the only one who’s devoted their whole brand to making it impossible to repair full sized devices. I’ve replaced about 15 random dell laptop lithium batteries in the last year.

      Apple is the only one who’s devoted their whole brand to making it impossible to repair full sized devices.

      Here’s a reminder that the iFixIt brand name (some of the best at-home repair tools you can easily buy) started as a joke, because Apple devices were so notoriously difficult to repair.
