Experts give bad service Surface Pro 2 Touch - Spiegel Online

repair experts at iFixit new tablet computer Surface Pro 2 have been concerned to see the inner workings of the device closer to the sales start of Microsoft’s. My verdict for the Windows group not particularly flattering: Repair ability of the new Windows 8 tablets evaluate the professionals with the grade 6

Even the previous model was abundant criticism in this regard, but obviously has borne little fruit. When disassembling the engineers encountered considerable difficulties.

Of course, Microsoft could facilitate the exchange of components, but that would only have been possible in the design for the price of more size and weight. The type of rigid mounting of the items was not done arbitrarily, it is essential for the design of the device:
