RAM, SSD, battery, keyboard(but in many laptops the whole top panel has to be replaced), track pad, wifi card, display(framework has the better way only over here). I mean buying a tongfang OR a system 76 is a way better option than going for framework due to its QR codes I don't understand why. I'm not shitting on framework this is just what I've been wanting to ask for so long

I'm not an expert myself, but ifixit says that very few laptops are easily repairable.

No. Many laptops, particularly in the compact category come with soldered RAM and SSDs.
