Nice very cool. Unfortunately, the blog post looks like it's been generated by an LLM.

> Going from a high score to the highest score isn’t usually about making minor tweaks. It requires fighting for every small, boring, consequential decision—the ones that determine whether a repair isn’t merely possible or practical, but within easy reach.

Ifixit, the same guys that gave the new Macmini 8/10 for repairability? They're totally biased to mainstream products IMHO especially Mac products.

Then they give this Laptop a 10/10. One look at the internals and without a shadow of doubt it's not as as repairable friendly as framework laptop.

Not sure what they are smoking.

Yea someone else said it but bios updates on certain models can be hit or miss. But definitely better than dell or hp. I'd take Asus over Lenovo any day for bios though.

I, as a non-native speaker, don't associate this with LLMs, but with corporate advertising texts.

At the same time, at least to me, the text reads like a transcript from one of their YouTube tear downs.

LLMs copied this style of writing, no doubt by training on blog content. Blogs have been doing it forever now...
