Here I am considering to purchase a newer used Thinkpad than my latest (X1 Carbon G7) and suddenly they release the most repairable laptop of the decade?

    10/10 should be reserved for laptops where all parts are replaceable. including CPUs.

    they used to, though. having a slim laptop is good, but having a repairable and upgradeable laptop is better, they should at least give the consumers the choice.

    A socketed CPU would not realistically be 25% slower or 25% less efficient. your numbers are overly exaggerated. but to answer your question, I would sacrifice a little bit of performance and power efficiency for upgradeability and repairability.
