In France, the repair index began raising awareness among the general public about environmental issues with our purchase of electric and electronic equipment. In the United States, 20 states have adopted rules for compensation, but important lobbying institutions are still trying to stop these efforts. Yet the associations are still trying to keep a bit of transparency in them.
This is particularly the case Public Interest Research Group (PIRG), a type of selected from across the Atlantic, which has established the ranking of highly repaired computers and smartphones.
PC in stagnation
Surprisingly, by the smartphone, we find Samsung for the last time (due to the relatively stims of home repair) and Apple and Google in the upper part of the rating. In recent years, two jinn have made efforts by providing spare parts, indicating indiscriminate guidance and shrub on serialization. PIRG has not been mistaken by noting this “Repairing smartphones of key manufacturers is fast easier.“.

However, observation on the laptop is quite different. Whether in the aspect of Acer, Samsung, HP, Lenovo or Dell, improvement is still awaiting. Asus climbs the first place in the US rankings, followed by Acer and Dell. Apple and Lenovo are the last last, exceeding HP, Samsung and Microsoft.
The PIRG rating does not reflect French speaking notes of repairing (whether it is based on it), because the organization is more volatile, discussing it, discussing it. “This is a better reflection of what users imagine when they think of repair“But the association also depends on whether the manufacturer is positively involved in the campaigns in favor of repairing repair, allowing himself to add points or reduce the points.
High and repair price is not necessary
With all these standards, the PIRG so decided that Asus and Acer were manufacturers who had the most integrated and complete repair policy, despite being involved in some anti -repair lobby. “” “Deployment. The progress of the manufacturers in terms of n has been practically stopped“Note to the association. Even worse, after eliminating computers between 2023 and 2024, more global trends look less (moderate).

The association has also noted that the higher price does not necessarily mean that the manufacturer has paid more attention to the repair. For example, asus Zen Book S14, despite a very low price, MacBook Pro inherits a much better note than 14.
Obviously, the rating in its limits, the repair ecosystem is wider than the sole problem of the demo, but for those who want to invest in a device that is able to go down its skull so that it can be established for longer, PIRG results give a good idea of the market condition.
