IFixit to Surface Pro maintenance difficulty level of scores for 1 minute, full marks for ten points. This means that the Surface Pro is the most difficult maintenance of digital products. In contrast, Surface RT maintenance difficulty level score is 4 points.
In fact, apart Surface Pro itself is not too easy. IFixit said, spent 1 hour time to study how to put the Surface Pro apart, and in the process, also use the hot air gun and guitar dial the pieces and tools. In the open later, iFixit found screen and similar asphalt material glued together.
In the internal Surface Pro, motherboard used and screws to fixed, and the whole Surface Pro common used 90 screws. In addition, the Surface Pro 42 watt-hour battery USES the glue fixed in the equipment at the back of the shell, a warnings say don't optional operation battery, also do not place your battery and the back shell separately. IFixture think, such practice is completely unnecessary.
However, the solid Surface Pro disk removal is very convenient. So if the user think 64 gb of memory space is not enough, so can be easily upgrade. However, the problem is still mainly lies in how to open Surface Pro shell. IFixit said, unless open shell process is very perfect, or it may need to be forced to cut around the screen four root of cable.
