  • The folks at Google decided to take a cue from us, so we felt the need to reciprocate. Googlers, consider this an outstanding invitation to use the image on the left as a Google Doodle!

  • Nexus Q Repairability Score: 8 out of 10 (10 is the easiest to repair):

  • Removing the top cover requires no tools. Very limited amounts of adhesive and fasteners with no exotic screw heads simplify disassembly.

  • Very few components are soldered to the main boards, making replacing them easier and less expensive.

  • The entire disassembly is pretty straightforward.

  • Lots of components could make you lose track of important parts if you're not careful.

  • Everything is packed very tightly into one package, which makes replacing some components a tad difficult.

  • The power supply is readily exposed once inside, making repairing the device a bit dangerous unless proper caution is taken.
