Final Thoughts
  • The Microsoft Surface Go earns a 1 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):

  • The smaller form factor seems to make the glass easier to remove without breaking, but it's still terrifyingly hard.

  • If this is expected to replace a PC, the lack of upgradability will severely limit the device's lifespan.

  • The lack of modularity, especially on high-wear ports, makes repairs unnecessarily expensive.

  • Adhesive holds many components in place, including the display and battery.

  • Replacement of any part requires removal of the display assembly, an easy (and expensive) part to damage.
