@Suiseiseki I mean usually laptops are 1 motherboard and if your cpu or gpu crap out your whole laptops a brick. At least in this cause the rma is just replace the broken side. It's pretty sad how abysmal laptops are overall. I'm pretty sure storage isn't soldered to the board.

Cpus haven't been socketed in a laptop since the lenovo t440p right? Did we ever have socketed gpus?
