MacBook air - install windows if you must
Very few laptops would be described as "easy to self-repair". And tablets even less so. Instead, look for a brand with good customer service if breakage is a concern, and get an extended warranty that covers accidents. I've had great experiences with Lenovo CS but that was a while back.
what do you require? how would you used it? personal/leisure or business
A laptop with proper keyboard and mouse or a tablet with optional , two very different things? budget? HK$3000 to HK$18000?
will this be your only pc/laptop and do you need it to be portable
Air is not easy to open for layman.
Lenovo sounds good, it's for on the road
Why do you need to open it? I'd second the suggestion of a macbook air. Very robust - mine travels everywhere with me.
I presume the op means, user-option to change ram ( MacBook air have solder to the pcb) and HDD, without breaking the bank in future upgrades or selling current one for peanuts in future
future upgrade options will allow a bit longevity for the laptops, as storage and ram are important aspects to some , while not so important to others.
I am talking about a lifespan of 6-10 years.
Not sure air offers that.
Not only ram upgrade but all kind of things, easy access to HDD, keyboard exchange, display, even frame parts
I used to buy parts on ebay and exchange them.

If you need one immediately then - loads of a selection at the usual suspects, if you can wait a month or two there is a new range coming from ASUS which included a larger updates version ( and very thin ) of the T10 tablet and detachable keyboard. It's larger and more laptop size and thin like the Air but runs Win8 on a fast chipset.
