From 0/10 to 8/10: Microsoft Puts Repair Front and Center

Microsoft has made significant improvements in the repairability of its Surface devices, with the Surface Laptop 7 and Surface Pro 11 scoring an impressive 8/10 for repairability. The devices have incorporated features like magnetic bottom plates, QR codes for service manuals, and Wayfinder markers for component identification, making repairs easier and more accessible. The Surface Pro 11, despite being a tablet, also has a relatively straightforward repair process, with no glue involved in securing components. These repairability improvements demonstrate a shift in focus towards designing devices that are easier to repair, reflecting the impact of Right to Repair advocacy and legislation.
