Final Thoughts
  • Microsoft's Surface Pro 6 earns a 1 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):

  • To the extent that screws are used, they are all standard Torx fasteners.

  • This tablet still has a headphone jack, which is modular and replaceable, if you can get to it.

  • All repairs require first removing the display assembly—which is stubbornly glued in place, expensive, and prone to shattering.

  • The battery is firmly glued in place, with its connector pinned under the motherboard—requiring near-total disassembly for service.

  • Once upon a time, Surface Pro storage was removable—but not in this version.

  • Complex construction makes all disassembly and reassembly tedious in comparison to other tablets.
