Do most desktop hardware manufacturers nowadays use the lead-free approach to their boards? I was just wondering about it, since I repair laptops at work and many manufacturers chose to go lead-free. They're generally a pain in the ass to do any soldering work on, but I guess the companies get some happy green tax incentive?

I do know that military and medical equipment is never lead-free due to its questionable reliability.
