Greatly depends on manufacturer and models.
They have gotten much easier to work on and maintain.
Changing out a keyboard, harddrive, memory battery are easy and quick fixes.
The most expensive repair and usually the most normal repair is the display.
The display on a laptop is not only critical for its use, but also
the most easily damaged in dropping, hitting etc.
I have been able to replace keyboards on a Gateway, Compaq and Dell
with little or no problems. Same with Harddrives.
Be careful for the bottom end laptops. They are cheap and not that
durable. Got my youngest a Dell laptop at Walmart during BlackFriday
last year and we have been very pleased with it. And he is not that
kind to it either.
My Dell is the Latitude series and I am very pleased with
it. (Latitude is their business level machines.)
