iFixit has posted its teardown of the new Microsoft Surface laptop. It did not go well.
"The Surface Laptop is not a laptop. It’s a glue-filled monstrosity. There is nothing about it that is upgradable or long-lasting, and it literally can’t be opened without destroying it."
If you're looking to purchase a tablet/laptop you may want to take this into consideration. The new 10.5-inch iPad Pro only scored 2/10 on iFixit's teardown but that's still better than 0!
Final Thoughts
● This laptop is not meant to be opened or repaired; you can’t get inside without inflicting a lot of damage.
● The CPU, RAM, and onboard storage are soldered to the motherboard, making upgrades a no-go.
● The headphone jack, while modular, can only be accessed by removing the heat sink, fan, display, and motherboard.
● The battery is difficult and dangerous to replace, giving the device a limited lifespan.
