Microsoft Surface Laptop Repairability Score: 7 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)

Disassembly is straightforward, nondestructive, and easily reversible.

Primary components are secured with screws; no adhesive in sight.

The battery is rechargeable, modular, and can be replaced after removing just four screws.

A portion of the components are modular and can be replaced, but some high-wear parts (like 3.5 mm ports and the springy A and B button covers) will require specials tools to repair should they break.

Use of Torx security screws creates an unnecessary repair hurdle.
