The letter is the published assessment. Missing factor evidence is labeled; it does not become a zero.
Why this grade
PIRG graded HP laptops C in 2025 and B- in 2026 (improving). HP publishes detailed Maintenance & Service Guides for its business EliteBook/ProBook lines and sells parts via PartSurfer, with few software locks; consumer Pavilion/Envy lines are less serviceable (more adhesive, less documentation). No model is on iFixit's curated laptop score list, so repair-friendliness is inferred from PIRG's France-index data rather than a direct teardown score. Average lands low-C.
