The device deconstruction wizards at iFixit have given Microsoft's latest Surface the teardown treatment, giving us a peek at what's inside and, chiefly, just how difficult information technology may exist to perform repairs on your own.

So what'due south the verdict? You probably won't want to crack into this thing for any repairs on your ain. While iFixit plant that the Surface Go's smaller display was sturdier and easier to remove, everything underneath is held stubbornly in place.

The battery is glued firmly in place by two pads of agglutinative, making it hard to remove. Underneath, the Surface Go holds "seemingly countless layers of shields, record, and hidden screws." And while all of the major hardware specs of the Surface Go are no secret, the teardown did reveal that the device is gratuitous of any heat pipes for cooling, relying instead on thermal paste and a thin copper shield.
