To be fair, I've had plenty a non-repairable laptop with poor battery life and shaky case. I don't know their excuee.
If all the laptop components break at the same time, there's no need for repairability. Then it’s just a somewhat disposable computer by design. For a car analogy, this is how many americans could afford their first car.
The truly bad designs are when one broken component is preventing repairability. Hello apple!
