There have been numerous runs at making a user-friendly laptop, in the sense of repairability or tinkerability or open-source firmwareness. One that has recently come to my attention is the framework laptop. I don't have one, I haven't seen one up close, and it probably isn't exactly what I would buy, but it's closer than other off-the-shelf devices are. -- Russell Senior [email protected]
