Microsoft releases Surface Laptop SE teardown video

The United States and Europe are advocating or requiring electronic equipment to have the right to repair. The right to repair means that consumers can more easily disassemble and repair, rather than having to go to the manufacturer’s after-sales service point for repairs. After all, this is actually a choice for consumers. If you don’t want to choose the higher-priced after-sales service provided by the manufacturer, you can also repair it yourself.

But even if you want to do it yourself, the premise is that the equipment has the right to repair. Microsoft was previously known as the glue maniac because its equipment was sealed with glue in many places and even the hardware was welded. It is very difficult to repair and replace it. Therefore, some devices from Microsoft have a score of 0 in the repairable evaluation of iFixit, that is, they do not have the repair function.

Microsoft shareholders also put pressure on Microsoft on this issue, and finally, Microsoft and iFixit reached cooperation. On the one hand, it provides a modular design in the design and manufacturing stage for easy maintenance and replacement of hardware, and on the other hand, it releases a special disassembly tool for consumers to disassemble and repair by themselves.
