That’s true but if integration means that it’s very rare for anything to go wrong within the product’s lifetime that may not matter and in fact be a net win.

I’ve never had anything break on a laptop[1] I’ve owned regardless of brand since 2005.

I can’t be that atypical.

1. Apart from maybe the wifi on my XPS13 which I can just about live with by turning wifi on and off.

Meanwhile I have a stack of 6-7 old broken laptops that are unlikely to be repairable.

What's broken on them and are they made with discrete components vs highly integrated ones?

If they are made with discrete components and still can't be repaired then you'd loose nothing by going to a higher level of integration.
