There are two diffetent problems with repairability - one is making it easy for a dilebtante to replace parts.

The other, is making parts and schematics avaliable so that a specialist can repair it. You don't actually have to change the design. This is what Luis Rossman is talking about

> Dedicated GPU

Yeah I only buy laptops with GPUs. Honestly laptops outside power user/gaming niche rarely need things replaced
