Microsoft Surface Pro compare with the new iPad Pro on maintainability

New tablet computer Microsoft Surface Pro 2017 has been shown recently, as well as its competitor in the face of the latest Apple iPad Pro with a screen of 10.5 inches. It’s two enemies, but in some ways they are similar — both completely unsuitable to repair.

Recall that recently the Apple iPad Pro has been on the table of specialists portal iFixit, and they awarded him a score of 1 on a scale of maintainability of a possible 10. Today exactly the same thing was done with Microsoft Surface Pro — after opening it was the same 1 point. The reasons for such low scores, as it turned out, a lot, and the first of them is the lack of a full SSD, which was replaced by a soldered on the system Board drive, so replace it in case of failure or upgrade would be impossible.

Inside the Microsoft Surface Pro was discovered a lot of glue, and a large cluster is located under the battery and on the edge of the display module. Both of these are extremely difficult to remove for replacement, and the screen also still very fragile. Note that for replacement of any parts Microsoft Surface Pro you first have to dismantle the entire front panel, which may cause damage to the screen so that the repair will definitely result in a tidy sum.
