We should expect mobile electronics to be sealed watertight at the factory.&lt;p&gt;There&amp;#x27;s a tradeoff between repairable and bulky. Here&amp;#x27;s a repair job of mine.[1]  This is restoring a Teletype Model 15 from the 1930s.  These are completely reparable - every part can be removed without damage. IFixit would give it a score of 10. It&amp;#x27;s big, heavy, loud, and drips oil, but completely repairable.&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;brassgoggles.co.uk&amp;#x2F;forum&amp;#x2F;index.php&amp;#x2F;topic,43672.0.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;brassgoggles.co.uk&amp;#x2F;forum&amp;#x2F;index.php&amp;#x2F;topic,43672.0.html&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

Similar to the lack of MacBook for power users. People who want to open their laptop are a tiny minority of users, and thus, not a population worth addressing.</text></comment>
