That could be good news for schools that let the devices be used by butter-fingered kids.  >That said, iFixit still gave the new iPad a "repairability" score of 2 out of 10, with 10 being easiest to repair. That's pretty low for a device that aims to compete with Google's Chromebooks, which are popular with students thanks in part to their low cost.
