Microsoft Built a Powerful Laptop You Can Actually Repair - Surface Laptop Ultra Teardown
Four screws get you inside. But how far does Microsoft’s repair-friendly design really go?We tear down the Surface Laptop Ultra to test its repair promises—from a glue-free battery and modular parts to soldered memory and a demanding keyboard replacement.
Inside, we examine battery and SSD access, removable speakers and ports, fan servicing, motherboard removal, and the display, trackpad, and keyboard repairs. There are substantial improvements here—and compromises that keep it from a perfect score.
Our verdict: 8/10 for repairability.
Disclosure: iFixit is one of the places Microsoft sells replacement parts through. In this video, we follow Microsoft’s repair guide and assess the hardware directly.
