Let's recognize that Microsoft is making great changes regarding repairablity, other companies like apple seem to ignore this aspect on purpose. Great job there Microsoft 👏 👍 👌
Can future products please rely less on adhesive and hidden screws? I understand the design appeal, but even devices like Apple's macbooks have exposed screws. Repairability to me is a premium feature that makes a product look built to last, while things like hiding screws scream disposable. If you cant put something back together without elements being deformed, its "dismantleable" not "repairable".
This what stops me from buying Surface computers. It's too much work to just to clean the fans and change the thermal paste. And there's no guarantee you can get it back the same as is due to adhesive material and rubbers.
@@tidus1phsame here. I’m looking to replace some old laptops for us and my first choice was Framework. They SEVERELY dropped the ball so we’re not working with them anymore. Second choice was Surface. That repair video is enough to make me steer clear. Looks like I’m going Lenovo P16s.
@@tidus1phthey just went silent on us. We had a meeting to get everything set up, get our PO’s made and swap W2’s. It was looking good. And then suddenly silence. Absolutely no communication. I sent a bunch of emails to support and to our rep and not a single thing back. I scheduled video calls so we could talk it through, no one ever picked up. Three weeks of this and then a random rep just copies and pastes a response about how schools have to order differently. Uh, yeah, that’s what I’m trying to do? I gave up, I sent them emails about how we’re getting the runaround and that we as a “business” customer are feeling mistreated. Again, nothing back. So we’re done with Framework. I was ready to spend a few thousand dollars with them. If it worked out we’d have moved our whole district to them, tens of thousands of dollars. It’s a shame. I was so excited. Never again, until they fix their ordering system. Maybe never, I’m salty. But wounds heal so I do wish them the best in the consumer market. The pro market is where they could really shine, but oh well.
This is a great disassembly guide. BUT where in the name of Belzebub's bony buttcrack can you get the parts from? Even though it is easy to replace parts like the fans, the only thing I can find Microsoft actually selling are the rubber feet and the cosmetic strip.
Now that most retail Microsoft Stores have shut down, will there be a place that sells official SSD's for this laptop? I ask since they have the thermal pad and that nice heatsink. They do not appear to be on sale at the "Microsoft Surface repair & replacement parts" page.
Where to buy Surface Laptop Studio cover? Do I need to replace the cover? Because it has peeling black spots and looks unsightly, I can't find a cover to replace it? Microsoft does not sell case components for replacement?
Still a mess to open for cleaning an repasting. My ex Dell XPS 15 or a MacBook are way easier to open for the "ordinary" maintenance. If it is gonna come, I hope the SLS "3" will be easier and practical to manage without ruining the rubber feet and with CPU/GPU already oriented to the bottom.
@2:56 "Remove the solid state drive to shut down power to the whole system." NO! DO NOT DO THAT! YOU COULD DAMAGE YOUR SSD! ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE BATTERY FIRST BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE! Any just to be absolutely sure, after you disconnect the battery, press and hold the power button to remove any residual power that may still exist.
Why are you even showing it to the whole world when you only sell it only in USA because you know that people in USA have money that can actually keep your business running. You should rename this as Surface Studio USA.
This guy looks like he could give volleyball tips with the same level of conciseness and detail!

We appreciate the kind words 😁
Id say the nicest thing about this video is his hair and his face! Nice surface too...
This seems to be a pleasantly simple teardown. Never thought I'd say this, but good job Microsoft. This is a good move!
I appreciate that things are easier to repair here than on the pro. I don’t appreciate how it’s still not very easy.

@@DenyTheZeitgeist What did framework do? I was considering it since the modular gpu sounds promising.

Great guide and concise instructions!
Glad we could help, Joshua!

So?

So cool! That guy went to my high school!

I love my MSFT SLS but I spilled a latte on it and screwed up a few keys on the keyboard. How do I replace the keyboard?
Please, one of my display cables is damaged, how can I replace it?
Great guide! Nice face too!
А как поменять оперативную память ?
Can anyone send me part number of the fans please?
What is that blue color band in your hand ???
It's an anti-static bracelet.

nice shirt color!
We couldn't agree more 😎
lads just roasted linus for bad disassembly
Ensure the battery is fully discharged then shut down the device through the windows system !!!! o_O
Even the technician needs repair 🤣😂
🛑⚠️ Repair thermal throttling first before selling a faulty product
This issue shouldn't be there at that price
Such a waste

You should rename this as Surface Studio USA.
It's clearly available outside the USA? It's available in Europe too.
i literally live on the other side of the planet and i can go to any computer retailer and buy it
It’s sad I had to look this up after 3 months of using it because the fan sounds like a screw is loose.
