John Deere Reaches $99 Million Settlement Expanding Farmers' Right to Repair John Deere has agreed to pay $99 million to settle a long-running class action lawsuit over farmers' right to repair their own equipment. The case, which has drawn attention for years across the agricultural industry, alleges that John Deere's restrictive repair policies forced farmers to rely on authorized dealers for costly repairs, limiting their autonomy in maintaining crucial machinery. Although the company emphasized that the settlement does not constitute an admission of wrongdoing, the agreement establishes a fund to compensate farmers and individuals who paid for large equipment repairs through John Deere's authorized network since January 2018. According to court documents, plaintiffs will recover between 26% and 53% of the alleged overcharge damages—significantly higher than typical class-action recoveries that range from 5% to 15%. A critical part of the settlement is Deere’s pledge to provide the necessary digital tools for diagnosing, maintaining, and repairing tractors, combines, and other farm equipment for the next ten years. This milestone decision follows earlier disputes where some farmers resorted to hacking their machinery just to fix it. A 2023 memorandum of understanding had started addressing these concerns, allowing third parties limited access to diagnostic technology while protecting Deere’s intellectual property. The new agreement strengthens those rights and makes them legally binding, marking a major win for advocates of the right-to-repair movement. A judge’s approval is pending but expected. Meanwhile, John Deere still faces an FTC lawsuit alleging it monopolized repairs through its authorized dealer network, driving up maintenance costs for farmers across the U.S.

Report Ranks Apple and Lenovo Lowest for Laptop Repairability A new report by the Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) Education Fund, titled “Failing the Fix (2026),” grades the repairability of leading laptop and smartphone brands. The study focuses on how easily consumers can disassemble devices, access repair information, and obtain spare parts. According to the report, Apple received the lowest marks in laptop repairability (C-minus) and an even poorer D-minus for its smartphones. Lenovo followed closely behind with a C-minus. PIRG penalized both companies for their low disassembly scores and their memberships in trade associations like TechNet and the Consumer Technology Association, which oppose right-to-repair legislation. Lenovo’s ranking also suffered because it failed to provide required PDF documents showing repairability scores for some of its laptops on its French website, a compliance issue that dates back to a previous year. Despite minor progress, PIRG noted that Lenovo still falls short of full compliance with France’s consumer transparency rules. The report also points out that, across major brands, laptop repairability has remained largely stagnant. However, PIRG’s Proctor recognized gradual improvements in consumers’ ability to access parts, tools, and repair guides. He highlighted Apple’s MacBook Neo as an example of a move toward more repairable designs. The repairability index used by PIRG prioritizes physical disassembly difficulty, followed by the availability and affordability of parts and documentation. Acer was the only brand not penalized for anti–right-to-repair group membership. Overall, PIRG concluded that the industry still needs stronger regulation and cultural shifts to make laptops more user-repairable and sustainable.

Apple and Lenovo have the least repairable laptops, analysis finds The MacBook Neo is a step in the right direction, though.

The one question that I have is what selection of Lenovo laptops were part of the sample? Were there any corporate laptops like the T and P series includes, or did they just consider consumer-only models?

The T and P series are some of the most repairable laptops out there.
