A good place to mention https://puri.sm. Repairability is one of their selling points, along with the openness.

1399? For a base ssd of 120? 4 gb of ram? The only people who will buy this already have the bodies and guts of other laptops scattered around their workshop cause they already fiddle. Don’t get me wrong, options and alternatives are always nice, but presented as a solid alternative to a Mac... nope.

A tiny company cannot make a cheap quality product in small quantities. If you feel repairability and freedom are important, it is worth it though.

When I read "repairability and freedom" and yet the site wants to upcharge me $70 to go from 1x4GB to 1x8GB RAM, I get kind of dubious.
