Today we’ve got the Surface Pro 9 on our teardown table and we’re excited to see what’s inside!
Quick disclaimer: We do consulting work for Microsoft’s hardware team. We do the same kind of analysis for them that we do here on the channel: dissect their hardware and share ideas for making it more repairable. We also sell Microsoft’s tools to our Pro business customers. However, our teardowns are conducted with full editorial independence, with devices purchased by iFixit, and Microsoft has had no input or involvement in the making of this video.

Facebook’s multibillion-dollar transformation into Meta has been one of the biggest stories in tech—met by excitement in certain corners and skepticism just about everywhere else.
So, today we’re tearing down the Meta Quest Pro to see what the cutting edge of Zuck’s vision looks like on the inside, and what separates this new $1500 headset from the far more affordable $400 Quest 2.

It’s designed to compete with higher end sports and utility watches from the likes of Garmin, Suunto, Polar, and Coros, and boasts a suite of high-end features and improvements - including a fully fledged dive computer.
What’s more, it’s taught us that International Orange is not an imported fruit but a color. Move aside RGB.
If you’re going to be out there taking risks with your new adventure watch, you should prepare for… adverse circumstances. And the possibility that it might break. Let’s take a look inside this titanium frame and see how easy a battery and replacement would be.

It’s also got a newly stabilized selfie camera, an always-on display, and it’s capable of satellite connectivity. Plus, for the first time, Apple has ditched a physical SIM card—in the US.But there’s an old saying: No man is an island, and maybe he should hold off on buying the fancy phone if he wants one that will actually last.

Yes, the model that reviewers dismissed as boring—an iPhone 13S, basically—actually has the most radical upgrade of any of Apple’s new phones. It turns out that Apple has totally redesigned the phone from the ground up, and that redesign may make this its most repairable and sustainable phone in years. So is this the iPhone that’s worth buying after all? Let’s find out.

This year, however, Samsung is steeply discounting repairs so our interest is piqued. If Samsung is confident enough to drop the screen repair price to $29—with insurance—could the Fold and Flip 4 really be as repairable as non-foldables? Before we get started, iFixit has teamed up with Samsung to sell parts and tools, but our Teardowns happen independently and without their involvement.

The XPS 15 was a sleek and incredibly modular machine that scored a 9 out of 10 on our repairability scale. But not all of us wanted a 15-inch machine. Some preferred the smaller form factor XPS 13. Now, the 13” inch model didn’t have all of the repair benefits the 15 inch model had, but with its easily removable battery and removable SSD it did have enough going for it to earn our seal of approval.
This new version of the XPS is slightly thinner and lacks many of the ports we loved in the previous version, and most of the time when we see manufacturers making the move to fewer ports and thinner devices, it means the device is going to be way less repairable. But, we won’t know for sure until we tear it down.

When you buy something, you own it, and you should have the right to repair it, whether that means taking it to the repair shop of your choice or fixing it yourself.

Gamers are excited to have access to their library of Steam games on the go, but this thing also connects to a TV or monitor, kind of like a Nintendo Switch. It’s a really interesting device … to take apart.
Full disclosure: iFixit works with Valve to offer official replacement parts for Valve products. Valve also supplied us with a Steam Deck for the purpose of this teardown. They had no input on the editorial content or score in our video.

One of the best ways to get through adhesive is a slow and methodical process of using heat to soften it and then gentle prying to separate the pieces.
iFixit’s iOpener is an opening tool designed to apply heat directly and evenly to components that are stuck together with adhesive.

Is This the Year it Happens?iFixit2022-01-19 | This year’s fight for your right to repair your own stuff is on, with bills in at least 25 states and public hearings about right to repair in Illinois and Washington State last week.
Right to repair activists are optimistic about 2022. And there was good reason for optimism in last week’s hearing in Washington State about House Bill 1810. What was most exciting about this hearing was actually who wasn’t there: specifically, Microsoft. Microsoft’s headquarters are in Washington State, and every time a right to repair bill has been introduced there before, Microsoft’s lobbyists have been out in full force. This time, though, Microsoft is now neutral today, and for us that’s a really big win!
If you’re in Washington State and want to help out, now is the time! Calling or writing your legislators is a great way to make your voice heard. At washington.repair.org, there’s a form for you to email your repair story to your legislators, and a calling system that will connect you directly.
