I don’t know what the current tech scene is like, but I prefer military grade approved laptops. My old Dell B130 is one such laptop.
Sure it’s old and came out in 2006 I think, but their military grade line is meant to be easy to repair even in the field, better RF shielding, underclocked a bit for CPU longevity, and runs cooler than consumer grade laptops…
Dell is stupid simple, it’s typically about 4 screws, none of which hold the laptop together.
Except this model,which is 2 hours of bullcrap just to find the keyboard.

Is that something they still offer?
To be honest, I’m not sure anymore.
In the framework 16 it’s connected by magnets. You can do the whole thing without tools.
As easy as a Dell is, and how rarely a keyboard needs to be replaced, I’m fine with a couple screws
Dell is pretty maintainable as well in my experience. I replaced my old XPS 13 battery and it was like a 30 minute task.
Big thing with framework is the customizability and the upgradability.
