Computers and electronics have been getting increasingly harder to repair and upgrade over the past decade or so, and that's especially true of tablets. But Microsoft has been bucking that trend for a while now, with every Surface Pro since the Surface Pro 7+ in early 2021 giving you the ability to easily remove the SSD so you can install a new one.

It's easy to get excited about all the new portable devices, but there's always the lingering fear of what they're like to repair. Sure, that shiny new tablet or laptop looks good now, but when something goes kaput in the near future, can you fix it yourself? If you can't, can your local repair store do it? Or do you have to give up and ship it to the manufacturer? If reparability is important to you, you'll be pleased to know that the new Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7 both scored highly on iFixit.
