Dell is the same, consumer level stuff is difficult or impossible to repair, but the business laptops are well thought out and designed to be repaired.
My new Dell XPS 15 is easy to service. 12 screws on the bottom gives easy access to the ram, battery, drive slots, and wifi. The heat sinks and pipes for the CPU and GPU has what, 8 screws? The screws don't need to be removed to clean out the fans with compressed air.
I replaced the SSD, wifi card, and repasted the CPU/GPU cooler. The operation took me 30 minutes.
