Why are laptop screens not made to be detachable?

972 views

I am not talking about 2 in 1 hybrids, were all the important parts are behind the screen already.

For example if you broke your screen, you can just detach it, buy a new one, fix it with some screws and plug it in, like a standard monitor for pc. It considered undesirable by the public, and companies think people won’t buy it? Or is it a way get more profit from repairs/having to buy a whole new device in some cases? Or it is somehow simple more cost-efficient?

If you break your laptop screen, you can undo the bezel, remove the broken screen and replace it with a new one, which is pretty cheap. It’s a routine surgery, so to speak. I had to do it once and it took perhaps 15 minutes.

Making the whole unit easily replaceable is surely possible but wouldn’t be cost-efficient engineering because people don’t break their screens that often.
