I think it probably depends on the line? The newest T14 got a 100%
repairability score from iFixit, after several years of 80-90%. I have a
1st generation T14 and for some things it's more repairable than the
X230 I upgraded from. It lacks the external access to drive and memory
that the X230 had, but it's easier to get to the T14's drive than any of
the internals of the X230. My X230 needs the heatsink repasted, and
getting to it is a complete disassembly.
But I think some other things that are ThinkPad branded are just
glued-together slabs like everything else.
