Surface Pro: 'Virtually Unrepairable'

Posted by timothy on from the you-break-it-keep-the-pieces dept.

An anonymous reader writes with a link to an article at Wired with some harsh words for Microsoft's new tablet: "The Surface Pro is not a repair-friendly machine. In fact, it's one of the least repairable devices iFixit has seen: In a teardown of Microsoft's tablet-laptop hybrid, the company gave it a rock-bottom score of just one — one! — out of 10 for repairability, lower even than Apple's iPad and the Windows Surface RT."

    "What happens when that SSD starts failing from the heavy IO load of desktop software? Or one of the fans blows a bearing?"

    you throw it away and buy a new one.

    Do you think microsoft expects anything else?
