Hello. Many of the older thinkpads were regarded as being peak for the ability to repair and easily see into them at both the hardware and software levels.

I was wondering, what PC, if any, is similar in this regard? Aside from building your own PC ofc. Any opinions are welcome. Thank you.

      Thinkpad owner here, it’s kinda easy to upgrade and fix them, the motherboard is not welded to the case

        The OP asked about desktops, not laptops. Why are you bringing up laptops?

        He wants a Desktop that’s durable and as easy to repair as a Thinkpad.

        Lenovo desktops are filled proprietary parts just like Dell and HP. (Power supply, custom atx motherboard, non standard motherboard mounting)

          Nowhere did OP say anything about a desktop. I thought they meant “what’s the current laptop equivalent to a Thinkpad back in the day?” If they meant a desktop, they should have used the word desktop. “PC” is not exactly specific.

            He is very clear from the context that he means desktop PC.

            "I was wondering, what PC, if any, is similar in this regard? Aside from building your own PC ofc. "

            You don’t “build your own” laptop.
