What does fix rate mean for tablet 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.
