iFixit has performed a teardown on the new Microsoft Surface Pro and found that the tablet is one of the least repairable devices they have ever worked with.
The company gave the tablet a repairability rating of 1/10, the lowest possible score. In fact, the score was even lower than the rating the Windows RT-based Surface before it and Apple's iPad, which is a long-time low score receiver.

If you are DUMB enough to believe that people should just toss a tablet when the battery goes out...one they paid $500.00 or more for, I feel sorry for you.
You sound like a marketing department for tablets...when one goes out...just toss it, after all we have a brand NEW one we can sell you. ONLY $500.00.........AGAIN!
Stupid, stupid argument.
Making these tablets unrepairable is a good way to lose your customer base when they go out.
Apple stocks are dropping because they have quit innovating and re-produce the same stuff over and over....it will not be long before other tablets built like this are having battery problems. Then what? Be a "sheepole" and buy another?
Did you miss the point I said, playing Devils Advocate, do you even know what that means; why don't you READ before calling someone stupid, and if you don't know what something defines as, ASK. It only makes you sound off as retarded, there's a reason there are two sides to an argument, else it's not called an argument. I didn't say I believe it should be done, I said MS and other companies do, so get your stick out of your....
You still sound idiotic. Even if f you WERE just playing devils advocate, your argument is STILL STUPID! Doesn't matter if you meant it or not... the argument was idiotic.
There is simply NO ROOM for this kind of thinking. If people want to buy a tablet knowing it will go out in a few years then that is one thing, but the way the tablet manufacturers are making them, is a very good way to lose their customer base.
Making something throw away like a tablet is simply idiotic, period!
I could care less if you agree with that or not, it is the truth.
And take the stick out of your brain and you may see that!

Please chill out joebloe. Mysttic is a good bloke and you're over-reacting to his comments. Playing devil's advocate does not mean he sympathises with what he perceives as M$'s perspective. And, let's face it, they are taking a page from Apple's playbook here.
Focus on Aaron Swartz's persecution and death if you want to indulge in outrage... this is hardly worth your valuable time.
