iFixit specialists summed up 2019 and named the worst and best devices according to estimates
Who's in the lead?
Let's start with the good.The Fairphone 3 smartphone was recognized as the best, scoring 10 points out of 10 possible. True, this is a modular phone, during the creation of which the emphasis was placed precisely on maintainability. By the way, he was the only one who scored the maximum score last year.
Next on the list is the new Mac Pro with 9 points. iFixit experts recognized it as the most repairable Apple product.
Xbox One S All Digital Edition is in third place with 8 points.
Who is the loser
And now we move on to the anti-rating, which contains three devices that are practically disposable. That is, if it is broken, it is more likely that you will have to buy new ones.
In first place are Apple AirPods Pro wireless headphones. Here they are zero, that is, they cannot be repaired at all.
Just 1 out of 10 for another Apple representative - the 16-inch MacBook Pro. Although the keyboard has become better, there are still big problems with maintainability.
And finally, “bronze” for a folding smartphoneSamsung Galaxy Fold - only 2 points. Although there is nothing surprising here: these are the first signs so far, so companies should still work on the strength of the designs of folding devices.
The Surface Laptop 3 deserves special attention.which has 5 points. iFixit decided to praise Microsoft for its progress, because the first models of the Surface Laptop line had solid 0s in repairability tests.
