Which laptop brand is most repairable?

HP. About 64.4% of HP repairs succeed, more than any other brand we rank.

How are laptop brand rankings calculated?

We use real repair data from community repair events tracked by openrepair.org. Fix rate is just how often a repair actually works. A brand needs 50+ repairs to make the list and 100+ before we rank it, so the numbers mean something.

Which laptop brand lasts the longest before needing repair?

Toshiba. When a Toshiba laptop reaches a repair bench, it's typically 9 years old, older than any other brand with 100+ recorded ages. That's a good sign they hold up, though we can't measure lifespan directly.

What does fix rate mean for laptop brands?

It's how often a repair actually works. Higher fix rate means when it breaks, you've got a better shot at fixing it instead of tossing it. Comes down to how repairable the design is and whether parts are available.

What's the difference between "fixed", "repairable", and "end of life"?

"Fixed" means the repair was done successfully. "Repairable" means it could be fixed but wasn't completed on the spot, maybe because parts were needed. "End of life" means it's not worth repairing anymore. The ratio between these tells you a lot about a brand's overall repairability.
