The letter is the published assessment. Missing factor evidence is labeled; it does not become a zero.
Why this grade
PIRG added Samsung to its laptop list and graded the Galaxy Book line B- in both 2025 and 2026 on the France index. However, no Samsung laptop is scored on iFixit's curated list and there is little independent teardown data for Galaxy Book laptops specifically (Samsung's phone repairability is mediocre, e.g. Galaxy S25 Ultra 5/10, but that does not transfer to laptops). Because per-model laptop technical evidence is thin, graded conservatively at D despite PIRG's B-; confidence is low pending a direct laptop teardown score.

Methodology & scope
Five dimensions are scored 0–100 and weighted equally: parts availability, schematic access, repairability, OEM pricing and software freedom. The letter scale is A (90–100), B (80–89), C (70–79), D (60–69), F (below 60).
