The Surface Pro 9 from Microsoft has a fresh, appealing outside, but a recent iFixit deconstruction reveals that it also has a cosier inside. The most recent 2-in-1 from the company now includes a screwed-in battery module rather than an attached one. Because of that and the fact that other parts have evolved to be more modular through time, repairability is truly possible. The most difficult aspect of prior Surface tablet repairs was simply prying open the device because the glass had minimal give for leverage and was easily breakable when heated.

It receives a seven out of ten initial reparability rating from iFixit. Additionally, the recent Surface devices seem to support Groene. Surface computers are much easier to fix these days. Microsoft and iFixit even collaborated to develop tools for Surface device repairs last year. Although it's unclear if the big-box Geek Squad will start performing repairs on-site, the firm also collaborates with Best Buy to make repairs easier.

Because it may result in a thinner and lighter laptop, Microsoft and several of its rivals, including the somewhat less repair-friendly Apple, have been glueing batteries directly into the chassis for years. However, not everyone desires the lightest and smallest laptop imaginable. Sometimes giving up a little thinness is acceptable if it allows you to replace the laptop's battery once rather than repeatedly using a heat gun. According to Robin Seiler, corporate vice president of Windows and devices at Microsoft, “Every opportunity that comes with repairability creates a challenge that you have to solve, like how can you be able to swap something out without really ruining the design,”
