  • Dell XPS 13 Repairability Score: 7 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair).

  • Service manuals are available online, for free. Thanks, Dell!

  • Once you manage to take off the bottom cover, all the parts are pretty easily replaceable.

  • Screws and connectors are labeled, aiding reassembly.

  • Moderate adhesive—except for the display assembly, no heat is required to disassemble.

  • The layering could be improved to make certain components easier to remove, but overall the modular design makes repairs cheaper.

  • Soldered RAM means you'll never be able to upgrade when things get slow.
