| + | [title] Final Thoughts |
|---|---|
| + | [* black] The Surface Laptop 3 earns a ***X out of 10*** on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair): |
| + | [* green] The opening procedure is straightforward, with a clever design that represents a ''dramatic'' improvement over its predecessors. |
| + | [* green] The M.2 SSD is fully modular and easy to access. |
| + | [* yellow] Torx Plus screws call for a relatively rare driver, but standard Torx drivers can seemingly work in a pinch. |
| + | [* yellow] Display access is prioritized and relatively simple, but the assembly isn't modular and will be a pricey fix. |
| + | [* yellow] While many components are modular, intricate layered construction makes many repairs more difficult than necessary. |
| + | [* red] RAM is soldered to the main board, and the firmly glued-down battery will be very difficult to service. |
