I really wish they'd design the case of the product to be fully removable easily (ie. 30 seconds with the right tool). Then a 'refurb' can consist of switching your case onto new innards.

Since this form of 'refurb' would be so cheap to operate, all warranty claims could be handled this way no questions asked.

Send the old innards back to the factory to run the full factory test suite, and if they pass then great, and if they fail have them stripped for parts.




You are describing the framework laptop. Maybe not 30 seconds, but all you need is a screwdriver


Dell warranties have covered this (and more) for me


This is pretty much the Apple model.
