iFixit has consulted with Microsoft's hardware teams for a while now, providing advice on making devices more repairable.As evidence of this, Microsoft claims in a statement that it will:- Make repair guides available for the Surface Pro 9's components by the end of the year- Work with "a major US retailer" to build out an authorized (in-store) repair network by early 2023- Offer parts to individuals and repair shops by the first half of 2023All these factors improve repairability, both in practice and in iFixit's (and French, European, and potentially other nations') repair scores.With the screen off, you have access to all the modular components: motherboard, thermal module, the Surface Connect Port, speakers, Wi-Fi module, front and rear cameras, and side buttons.That's a notable leap from prior Surface models, like the Pro 7, which received a 1 out of 10.But the Surface Pro 9's score will likely move up a notch or two if Microsoft keeps its promises to release manuals and spare parts to anyone who wants them next year."
