Apple, Lenovo laptops least repairable, analysis finds

A new report from the US PIRG Education Fund has identified Apple and Lenovo as having the least repairable laptops and smartphones. The analysis, which draws heavily on France's repairability index, assigned Apple a C-minus for laptops and a D-minus for phones. The report criticizes companies for low disassembly scores and limited availability of repair information and parts. Both Apple and Lenovo also faced penalties for their membership in industry groups opposing right-to-repair legislation. While some improvements in parts and information access are noted, the ease of physical repair remains a significant challenge for consumers.
