  • IFIXIT gives the new Surface Laptop 0/10 repairability score

    Posted on June 20, 2017 at 08:58 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Microsoft’s new Surface Laptop starts at $999.00 in the Microsoft Store.
    That price will get you a 3.1GHz i5 Intel Sky Lake processor, 4GB RAM, a 128GB SSD and Win 10 S. The top-of-the-line Surface Laptop runs $2199.00 for a 4.0GHz i7 Sky Lake processor, 16GB RAM, a 512GB SSD, and Win 10 S.

    IFIXIT recently tore down the new Surface Laptop with its Alcantara fabric-covered keyboard to determine its repairability. They gave it a score of 0/10. Yes, 0 (zero).

    Verdict: 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.

    It would seem Microsoft has created a $1000.00 (minimum) disposable laptop. Read the teardown notes on IFIXIT.com
