Apple TV (3rd Generation) Repairability: 8 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair).

Only six parts in a very easy-to-dissemble case.

Separate power supply, which is easy to get to and replace in case your old one ever decides to jump off a cliff.

No glue, thermal paste, gum, peanut butter holding things in place...

Standard screws, no endangered species screwdrivers necessary.

The logic board contains all the components, which means if something breaks, it could be expensive to replace -- unless you prefer to do board-level soldering.
