The letter is the published assessment. Missing factor evidence is labeled; it does not become a zero.
Why this grade
Split picture. On iFixit's technical criteria Lenovo is a leader: ThinkPad T14 Gen7/T16 Gen5 are the first ThinkPads at 10/10, most current ThinkPads score 9/10, and Lenovo publishes detailed Hardware Maintenance Manuals and sells FRU parts with few software locks. But PIRG graded the Lenovo brand F (2025) and C (2026) brand-wide, because the grade averages weaker consumer IdeaPad/Yoga/Legion models and deducts points for anti-right-to-repair trade-group membership. Scoring only the five technical axes here yields a high-C; the PIRG brand grade is lower because it bakes in policy and consumer-line averaging.
