Brands we work on
Every brand fails differently. What's actually wrong with a ThinkPad tends to look nothing like what's wrong with a MacBook.
Apple & MacBook
Soldered storage changes what data recovery can do.
HP
Consumer lines and business EliteBooks age very differently.
Dell
Latitude business laptops are built to be opened and serviced.
Lenovo
ThinkPads have a real reputation for repairability. IdeaPads don't.
Asus
ZenBook hinges are the known weak point on several models.
Acer
Budget pricing changes the repair-or-replace maths.
Microsoft Surface
Glued construction limits what's realistically repairable.
Gaming laptops
Heat is the recurring theme, not the brand.
