Score breakdown
Why this grade
PIRG added Samsung to its laptop list and graded the Galaxy Book line B- in both 2025 and 2026 on the France index. However, no Samsung laptop is scored on iFixit's curated list and there is little independent teardown data for Galaxy Book laptops specifically (Samsung's phone repairability is mediocre, e.g. Galaxy S25 Ultra 5/10, but that does not transfer to laptops). Because per-model laptop technical evidence is thin, graded conservatively at D despite PIRG's B-; confidence is low pending a direct laptop teardown score.
Methodology & version
Five dimensions — parts availability, schematic access, repairability, OEM pricing, and software freedom — are scored 0–100 and weighted equally; the letter grade is the average (A 90–100, B 80–89, C 70–79, D 60–69, F below 60).
