Here I am considering to purchase a newer used Thinkpad than my latest (X1 Carbon G7) and suddenly they release the most repairable laptop of the decade?

Personally I will never buy anything made by Lenovo in my life after an ex-girlfriend bought a flex laptop and I had to spend 2-3 hours taking preloaded bloatware bullshit off of it just to get it to be marginally functional

The best service for repairs I ever received was for a Thinkpad. And the devices I most easily for working again myself are alsow ThinkPads

2-3 hours

Really? Why didn't you just reinstall the OS?

they tend to make both shitty and awesome products due to their wide price range, so yeah..
