I absolutely love my surface go and making a repairable one will be fantastic. I just wish they'd finally make a 512gb version!

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Last year, President Biden took credit for Microsoft pivoting to support Right to Repair.

No matter who deserves the credit, announcements like the one today and several others in Microsoft's recent history show that they are committed to helping consumers repair their devices.

In the iFixit announcement, they focus on their expanded ability to assist their customers in repairing 15 Surface devices.

You can visit the post to get a link to each device on the iFixit site, or head directly to Microsoft's Repair Hub for more help.

As Microsoft pairs with more of their Authorized Service Providers to distribute official OEM parts to repair their outstanding Surface products and other hardware they may have planned in the future, they become a more trusted and dependable company for customers to invest in.

With Satya Nadella's recent comments on how canceling the Windows Phone was a mistake, maybe we will see it make a come-back with repairability in mind, leading the mobile segment in this consumer-first approach to technology devices.


The original article contains 392 words, the summary contains 169 words. Saved 57%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Embracing the sustainable... sounds good Tablets especially have no reason to not be easy to take apart they shouldn't be a device consumers expect high IPX ratings for and their tasks can make them viable for a long time. I just went from 0-2 iPads a 2 and a first gen air, the air has a dodgy battery and the ifixit guide has about 80 steps! But both function fine in 2023 apart from the by design obsolescence.
