One might argue that Surface laptops were Microsoft's answer to MacBooks.
If repairability was important to consumers, it would be a selling point for competitors. But it's not.

If Apple actually cared about sustainability, they would make their devices repairable.
They are repairable, but not by consumers in most cases.

They are mostly not repairable even by authorized repair providers.
Basically, they can only change a few components (keyboard, display (with assembly), motherboard, and probably the aluminium case), but that's it.

You literally cannot replace the battery in that Surface Laptop without destroying the whole thing.
It's made to be thrown away, instead of repaired.
Conversation is about Apple.

The conversation is about repairability, and Apple has yet to make a line of products that consistently earns a repairability score of 1 or less.

And they get away with it because Apple normalized it.
>According to iFixit, the Surface Laptop isn’t repairable at all. In fact, it got a 0 out of 10 for repairability and was labeled a “glue-filled monstrosity.”
The lowest scores previously were a 1 out of 10 for all previous iterations of the Surface Pro
