Dell seem to be the worst at it. You cannot access any component without removing every other component.
I seem to remember at one point I had a computer where you couldn't easily access the RAM unless you removed the graphics card. Because one of the RAM clips couldn't be undone because it literally hit the graphics card.
Really? Their laptops (Latitude, at least) are some of the most serviceable ones I've ever seen, only second to Thinkpads.
Perhaps their laptops are ok but their prebuilt PCs (they type you parents buy without research) are awful cost cutting junk.
When companies go out of their way to make designs that are as obtuse as possible just for the sake of doing so, it's especially aggravating. Like pre-built PCs that solder their components on or disable elements so that you can't upgrade them.
