Score breakdown
Why this grade
No official iFixit repairability score. reMarkable 1/2 are glue-heavy (aluminum backplate glued on all four sides plus center; battery held by glue per iFixit's RM1 guide) and the company does not publish battery specs or sell official spare parts. The newer reMarkable Paper Pro is genuinely redesigned for repair (mechanical locking system, company-claimed 74% more reusable components and easy battery replacement), but that improvement is self-reported and no consumer spare-parts store was found, so parts/manual availability remains weak. Minimal software parts-pairing (Linux-based). Conservative grade given no authoritative third-party teardown score and unverified parts channel.
Methodology & version
Five dimensions — parts availability, schematic access, repairability, OEM pricing, and software freedom — are scored 0–100 and weighted equally; the letter grade is the average (A 90–100, B 80–89, C 70–79, D 60–69, F below 60). This assessment is current as of 6/9/2026 and cites its sources below. It covers the Tablets category and is not a claim about every device the maker ships.
