  • Motorola Xoom tablet Repairability Score: 8 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)

  • There's no proprietary screws or fasteners in the machine -- everything comes out with a spudger and a couple of Torx screwdrivers.

  • LCD and front panel glass are not fused together. That's great news for folks unfortunate enough to drop their Xooms and crack their glass.

  • Individual components (like the cameras) are separately attached to the motherboard, allowing each component to be replaced on an individual basis.

  • By our count, there are 57 screws in the Xoom, of either the T5 or T6 Torx variety.

  • Everything is accessible but somewhat inconvenient to repair -- there's just a lot of labor involved with removing that many screws.
