pretty sure if he was just patient enough they would figure out how to get to that screw. although it is unacceptable that manufacturers hide places you need to reach for disassembly, it's also done for aesthetics of the chassis, and that's also catering to casual users who care about the 'clean look'.

Hiding screws under stickers doesn't prevent it from being user serviceable. However it does prevent consumers from retain the same levels of fit and finish after servicing. I visited the local Best Buy and took a look at the SLS unit on display there. The "stair tread" is one continuous piece around the unit, with no apparent seam around the pen charging area. If that doesn't give away the fact that it's plastic I don't know what does. The tread cover piece has a different feel to the touch than rest of the chassis as well. To be fair to Linus, he was going in blind, and the Microsoft rep he was in contact with fed him bad information. Had he investigated further he could've figured it out, but production schedule and all that. I don't think there's anything awfully wrong with the path of entry into the SLS. The modularity deserves some criticism, but it's not materially different than the Flow X13 I'm using right now (only the NGFF SSD is replaceable). The battery is glued, which again deserves some criticism, but at least this time it's glued to the back lid and not the keyboard deck. In this case, Microsoft's big mistake is not publishing the service manual. Had they done that, I would call SLS' serviceability below average but acceptable.

The two hidden screws on the sides of the laptop are just evil. Do you expect screws under the rubber feat, yes? Do you expect there to be a screw under an obvious sticker? yes. Do you expect there to be a veneer style sticker the same colour as the device, along the entire side, just to hide a screw? No. Never. Its sole function is blatantly just to hide two screws in a way nobody would expect. Also, having the battery's glued to the bottom plate seems to ensure there is another point of failure if you open it up... it would have made zero difference if it was attached to the frame instead.

Hidden screws aside, having the battery on the base is pretty neat. If it had some sort of connector that immediately disconnects the battery so you can work on the laptop safely... That'd just be perfect. May be an idea for Framework laptops to implement in the future.

the recycled mouse thing seems almost pointless when you take into consideration how unrepairable their devices are. maybe they get 1 point for the surface pro 8 having an upgradeable ssd, but mostly they are nudging people to upgrade to new devices every few years, which means you are selling off your old device and eventually someone will have no more use for it and it will be dumped or if youre lucky then maybe recycled. theres too much focus on recycling anyway. they should be working on ways to help you keep the same device for years on end while swapping out parts. recycling bits of ocean plastic? bitch please

you can punch through the fascia and remove the screws. Or pry it off, afaik Microsoft has't uploaded the surface laptop studio service manual online. The fact that they didn't say that sucks. Also HP does this too. They have a small sticker that you have to punch through to get the small screw (and HP does sell a replacement). That being said, not being able to know that SUCKS. And them operating under the assumption that its only those 4 screws sucks even more.

i've gotta say, I dont really care if you can upgrade a laptop too much. Usually a top of the line laptop can last 3-5 years and still run reasonably well. Personally, I look forward to an upgrade after using the same machine for so long so the only things I worry about are build quality, specs and the display. If it's top of the line at the time, by the time you would be upgrading internal components it would really seem outdated. For desktops it's a completely different story, keep the pc youve got for as long as possible, it's all about how it runs pretty much.

Years ago a client upgraded his Surface Pro tablet to a newer model and gave us the old one to dispose of. Since this person was a C-level in a financial company, we had to take it apart to remove the drive and physically destroy it aka "disposing of data to military standards". Never again. Ever. That thing was about a million screws and everything was GLUED or soldered together. It was horrible. Bent the crap out of everything and basically destroyed it. The battery was swelling up as well before we even removed a single screw. Turns out their cooling design blew hot air OVER THE BATTERY ITSELF! The company swore that day to never, ever recommend another Microsoft Surface anything to another client again.

I play a few games which this laptop is handling really well. 3. The keyboard, touchpad and speakers are amazing! 4. This does not get loud at all which I love. 5. It gets slightly warm on heavy load but isnt a problem for me. 6. I really love that I can use it at 120hz and it doesnt kill battery as much as i expected. Its on par with 60hz for my usage. 7. The laptop feels premium with its finish. One of the best looking laptops. Negatives: 1. The screen is nice to use but you have to deal with reflection. 2. Its a little on the heavier side 3. I wish it had a USB A. Whatevers: The screen tilt. Its there is you wanna use it. I dont so I dont care about the hinge or modes or whatever but I like the option of having it.

I was eying this device and after this review, I can only say Screw you MS. Speaking as a person who lost their Surface Laptop 3 to water damage (bottle opened in backpack), I've talked to the repair guys attempting the rescue. With the screw+magnetic sealing, there might have been a change if I got to them within 2 hours. However the internals, such as 5*layered glued PCBs, are completely unrepairable. So to me this style of introducing 1st gen devices which are dead if you just look at them wrong, it's just twisted. I wonder how the MBP will fare in this area, at least you can actually undo it without causing damage... But it looks like these devices should be bought with extra insurance.

Back in the day, Acer computers made the Aspire R7 laptop with a tie-in with the movie Star Trek Into Darkness. It had a screen with a middle swivel that allowed it to lift up, go into an easel mode, and flip around to allow viewing from the other direction. However, since it was an early Win8 touchscreen, they moved the keyboard to the bottom and the trackpad at the top. That way, when you brought the screen down, it hid the trackpad but left the keyboard free to use. It was a pretty cool machine all in all.

I am investigating purchase of a new laptop. I find it interesting how many reviews highlight limitations of the Surface Studio while avoiding how these limitations can be easily overcome. One example is the restricted accessability of the keyboard with the screen in easel position. There is no mention that an on screen keyboard is instantly available as needed. There are other "issues" that are more about form than function. These "issues" are more about personnel preference than actual performance limitations. You have to question a reviewer's motivation when he starts ripping apart a laptop, he knows nothing about doing, as part of a review. My biggest reservation with the Studio laptop is accessory connectability. It gets expesive tapping into utilizing the full capability of this laptop. I'm hoping off brand accessory manufactures catch up.

When it came time to buy a new laptop, I bought a Dell XPS 17 with the best video card and hi-res touchscreen, but the smallest drive and least amount of ram. I then popped the back off and upgraded to 64GB of fast 1Rx8 RAM, and 4TB of Gen 4 storage for over $600 less than Dell wanted. Had I paid Dell for the upgrades, who knows what older tech parts they might have used. Most people probably want to just buy something and use it, but I have to be able to open it up and upgrade it.

I don't get the complaint about rounded display corners, that's probably the best thing about this design for me, rounded uniform iPad Pro like bezels (and therefore rounded display corners). It doesn't cut much, on phones the radius is significantly larger. On a laptop this allows chassis to be more rounded and comfortable, I hate when laptops are super pointy at the corners because they are trying to make bezels super small while keeping the display purely rectangular. By the way Surface Go Laptop also has rounded display corners, and I have a feeling New MacBooks might have it too.

This seems to be inevitable with Microsoft's surface devices. Create a fantastic piece of hardware but then trip on the finish line. I have always looked at these surface devices and thought to myself "That is really cool" or even sometimes really wanted it since the first one. Just recently I bought a Surface Duo and now that it is not a buggy mess that is a fantastic phone. Actually I would go as far as to say that phone has completely eliminated any possible need for a laptop including Microsoft's own surface laptops. I don't get it. Microsoft could probably be a hardware monster if they put in all the effort all the time. But they don't. Microsoft is clearly capable but they just never finish anything.

Personally I would have preferred, if Microsoft had released the Surface Studio 3. The large touch display and the zero- gravity- hinge are truly unique. You could not find all these features on the other devices. The device was truly unique, even though few people out there really have use for such a device. Why should you buy a Surface Laptop, when at the same time a Surface Pro 8 with comparable features was presented, is more handy, there are more accessories and the hinge does not flutter around (which makes it a superfluous feature). To make matters worse, the device is massively overpriced and much heavier than devices from competitors with comparable specs.

I do not think that the higher tier version of this laptop is the only relevant one. For Photoshop work a dedicated gpu is not required and for Gpu rendering the vram of the 3050 is to small, so it is basically useless in that aspect. Additionally modern cpus are so fast and efficient, that the core I5 is enough for Photoshop, unless you really use huge artboards with huge resolution, but at that point you might as well get a stationarry solution with way more power. With that said, the terrible repairability of this device kills it for me in any aspect. Additionally Microsoft charges 160€ extra just to go from a 256gb ssd to 512gb and that is an insane markup. This Laptop looked really interesting for my last year of masters (product Design), but at this point I might just replace the battery on my 7 year old Dell Xps 13 and try to use it through the last year. (I have two desktops, one at school, one at home so the xps 13 only gets used when I am really on the go)

So it means, this has been in the R&D for so long, and maybe why Surface Book 3 remained practically the same as the first Book since they are instead working on this one. We will see how much they will change on version two, I hope upgradability will be considering this time. Surface Laptop 2 can at least able to open from the top lid using magnets.

Without the ledge, it be resting on the speakers and they would just be covered. And the ledge makes the pen magnet holder spot work a lot better. And, from the perspective of the person using it, it gives the illusion that the whole thing is hovering slightly above the table it's on. I like it a lot.

I have a Surface Book 2, and when I bought it I asked about warranty replacements on the screen, since that is what had killed my previous laptop. Microsoft was upfront about the fact that the screen (on a laptop where the screen detaches from the body) was not user or even repair center replaceable. Apparently, because the screen bezel and laptop body were machined as a unit, another screen may not fit accurately. If I made a warranty claim for the screen, I'd just get a brand new laptop back from the depot. That said, I've generally been very impressed with Microsoft's build quality. As much as you can't fix their laptops yourself, they seem to be built never to break in the first place. My guess is that this new Surface will be similar, though I have some concerns about the hinge on the back of the screen thing (kickstand?). Pricing one out though, complete accidental damage protection is less than $100 a year. I wouldn't consider buying one of these without maxing out that coverage for sure.

Unpopular (maybe?) opinion: I actually REALLY like the design of the studio with how the keyboard is slightly raised off the table, and it has the air vents directly below underneath. It reminds me of way back when when technology was chonky but everything was so new. I wish I were in the market for a laptop right now :/

YES LINUS! Normalise just breaking into laptops and destroying them if you can't properly do it anyway. I honestly loved it that he just ripped it like "fuck this, I need to see inside" :-D

This laptop is for drawing on the screen. If you're not using the pen then that should automatically eliminate this from a device you might want to buy.
