According to iFixit, if you needed to repair your Surface Pro 4, you could theoretically replace the Solid-State Drive. Then the battery is attached with a strong adhesive that makes the entire replacement process very hard. You could replace a few parts, but you still have to get inside of the tablet, which is not easy. The Surface Pro 4 uses non-standard connectors that make the display removal a complicated task, but iFixit notes that the procedure to remove the display is easier than the Surface Pro 3, because it uses less adhesive. The bottom line is that if you get a new Surface Pro 4 simply spend a few more extra dollars and get the warranty. It’s not worth to go through all the trouble. This slideshow requires JavaScript.
