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

  • The user-removable SSD makes for easy upgrades and data security that doesn't require device destruction.

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

  • Many components are modular and can be replaced independently.

  • (Almost) all repairs require display removal, with an improved procedure that needs no heat, but necessitates careful prying.

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