Summary
Based on the teardown the repairability of the device seems to be average. While some components can be easily replaced such as the battery and screen others require more effort and specialized tools. The use of adhesive also adds to the difficulty of repairs. Additionally the differences between the 2020 and 2022 models make it difficult to swap parts between the two. Overall I would give the device a score of 5.5 out of 10 for repairability.
