  • Dell, HP and Lenovo push repair-friendly laptops to counter Apple's slimming trend
    January 9, 2026, 3:28 AM EST. Dell, HP and Lenovo are signaling a different path from Apple by designing laptops that are easier to repair or upgrade. The trio's models let users swap batteries, keyboards, RAM and storage, extending lifespans and reducing waste. The shift follows Apple's push for thinner MacBooks with soldered RAM and storage and earlier butterfly keyboard problems. CNET reports that serviceability could reshape product cycles, even as Apple pursues thinner form factors and OLED displays. The move echoes MSI's service-friendly gaming laptops. The question remains whether Apple will adjust its design philosophy to balance form and function.
