Sure, but keep this in mind… The logistics for a single part give it a larger carbon footprint than that same part when it is shipped as part of a whole product. I’m not sure where the break-even point is, but repairing the laptop will eventually exceed the carbon footprint of a new machine, before the machine is completely replaced. Generally, it’s better to build for longevity than repairability. I can’t say at that Apple hardware is built to last longer, but that is certainly a claim I’ve seen other people make based on their experience.
I’m talking replacing parts and not entire laptops. Which there are plenty that allow this. Macs no longer do.
