If so how long? I’d like one, but can’t wait forever.

    It’s nice that it can be repaired and I really respect what the company is trying to do which is why I bought one in the first place. My complaint is just that it experienced random hardware failure that renders it unusable just outside of warranty and the only option that was offered is buying an expensive new mainboard.

      It was out of warranty. That’s how warranties work.

      It sucks that it died earlier than expected, but they can’t stay solvent just letting people get replacement parts outside of warranty for free.

        A Thinkpad offers 3 years warranty on parts and you can pay for up to 3 more, that’s 6 years they warrant their motherboard won’t blow or melt any fuses and if it does you can ship the laptop and they’ll fix it
