- paxys 6y agoExcuse me.. it'll be a gorgeous white epoxy blob.
- cptskippy 6y agoNah that'll be year 2, year 3 will be space grey.
- GeekyBear 6y agoThey've already done it, but it was a Microsoft Surface Laptop with spot welds and glue. >According to iFixit, the Surface Laptop isn’t repairable at all. In fact, it got a 0 out of 10 for repairability and was labeled a “glue-filled monstrosity.” Ouch. That’s never happened before. The lowest scores previously were a 1 out of 10 for all previous iterations of the Surface Pro https://www.extremetech.com/computing/251046-ifixit-labels-surface-laptop-glue-filled-monstrosity https://www.extremetech.com/computing/251046-ifixit-labels-s...
- chemmail 6y agoLuckily they did away with that in the Surface Laptop 4. I was able to change out the LCD panel on one and put it back together like new again.
- cptskippy 6y agoHow have you already replaced the LCD panel in a laptop that won't be released until next month?
- cptskippy 6y agoI was appalled when I just tried to upgrade my Lenovo laptop's WiFi and was greeted with a BIOS message telling me the hardware I inserted was unauthorized and to remove it or it wouldn't boot. What Microsoft did there takes the cake though...That is truly disgusting.
