at least they have screws.

what if there was a laptop with *no* external screws and required the
keyboard to be peeled off to open it, then needing to break ultrasonic
spot-welds to dig deeper?

introducing the new microsoft surface laptop.

2017 Surface Pro least repairable ever; Surface Laptop is made of glue

...The Laptop has no external screws at all; to get into the system,
iFixit had to peel off the glued-down fabric keyboard surround, an
operation that obviously can't be undone, producing a machine that
offers essentially no serviceability whatsoever. With the keyboard
surround removed, the system reveals its internals, with components
taped, soldered, or otherwise permanently affixed in place. Given how
destructive one has to be to open the machine in the first place,
perhaps that's not a big deal.

Verdict: The Surface Laptop is not a laptop. It¹s a glue-filled
monstrosity. There is nothing about it that is upgradable or
long-lasting, and it literally can¹t be opened without destroying it.
(Show us the procedure, Microsoft, we¹d love to be wrong.)

iFixit won't like that!

nor will the mac haters. one of their own is *worse*.

No business for them.

that too.
