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.

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.

Joystick drift has become the bane of gamers across every single platform. Whether you’ve got an original JoyCon for the Nintendo Switch or spent a couple of hundred bucks on the Thumb Master Elite 3000 for your PS5, the end result seems to be the same, over time these controllers will wear out and begin to drift. But maybe they don't have to!

This summer’s M2 MacBook Air is looking like a Donna Summer—as in hot hot hot.
We didn’t expect to find active cooling in this base model M2 Air, but we didn’t find much of a passive cooling system either—not even a heat spreader? But … we are getting ahead of ourselves.
Even without the slimming wedge, the flashy new M2 Air is not only thinner than its predecessor but also manages to pack in more ports—The glorious return of MagSafe, two Thunderbolt 3 ports, and a headphone jack! What else could the new M2 MacBook Air have up its sleeve?
The best tools make for easy disassembly

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.
Our blog post for this teardown—including a hi-res X-ray image of the entire Steam Deck

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.

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.
In the US, every state with repair legislation in consideration has its own repair.org domain: illinois.repair.org, california.repair.org, https://nebraska.repair.org.
In the European Union, check out repair.eu. In Australia, the Griffith University Law Futures hosts Repair Australia (https://www.griffith.edu.au/law-futures-centre/our-research/repair-australia).
In Canada, we love https://www.CanRepair.ca.
