Today, over a year ago, Dell unveiled the 'Concept Luna,' a fully repairable and upgradeable laptop made with eco-[friendly](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/116104/how-to-write-good-seo-friendly-articles) components. It appeared to be a design [comparable](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/2521/what-is-the-difference-between-comparable-and-comparator) to the ground-breaking [Framework](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/34615/software-framework-vs-library) **Laptop** with everything removable and changeable, from the RAM and SSD to the [keyboard](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/23117/android-soft-keyboard-close-hide) and the screen—and potentially a significant win for both [sustainability](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/114579/sustainability-is-survivability) and right-to-repair activists. The issue was that it was utterly unlike anything you could actually purchase. Well, a year has passed. The Concept Luna still isn't available. Dell has yet to make any firm plans to stock it. Dell does, however, assert that it has made some progress. **It has notably 'worked over the last year to further strengthen Concept Luna's modular [architecture](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/249193/top-5-reasons-to-pursue-architecture), eliminating the [requirement](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/85169/becoming-an-influencer-requirement-of-skills-and-knowledge) for adhesives and cables, and minimising the necessity for screws.'** All of this results in a system that, according to the manufacturer, can be disassembled in 'few minutes.' Although it's a tall goal, Dell at least has results to show for it. I recently saw a Concept Luna model in person at a demonstration. In addition, I got to see a number of robots disassemble the gadget, which, let's face it, is way more entertaining than watching a person do it. Idea Luna is still just a concept, despite the significant advancements Dell claims to have made. When a product like this will be released is not anything Dell provided for me. Even the fact that it genuinely intends to release a product like this is unclear. It has undoubtedly not made a commitment to do so. Dell's reps made it clear to me throughout the Luna demonstration that they are still experimenting with the idea of a fully repairable **laptop**; for [instance](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/155658/testing-connection-to-cloud-sql-instance-with-a-mysql-client-from-vm-instance), they are unsure of which line it would belong to or which client group it would appeal to. --- Original Source: https://www.mindstick.com/news/2582/the-road-ahead-for-dell-s-concept-luna-laptop-with-repairability-is-long Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
