The Microsoft Surface Pro X is a return to the company’s goal of using ARM-based chips inside its Windows 10-powered machines. Thanks to its custom SQ1 silicon, which is based on the Snapdragon 8cx, Microsoft’s latest 2-in-1 can compete with low-powered ultrabooks. Now, the question is, how easily can it be repaired? The answer lies in the latest Surface Pro X teardown, and here are all the details you should know.

Before iFixit published its Surface Pro X teardown, Microsoft highlighted that users could replace the SSD, which is present behind a pop-up door place next to the SIM card. Removing it is as simple as removing a single screw, but be warned that the Surface Pro X only uses an SSD of an uncommon form factor and not the ones that you normally see in Windows 10-powered ultrabooks or gaming notebooks. In addition, there are a bevy of changes that owners will find a welcome change since these changes make the iPad 7 a ‘pain in the neck’ to repair.
