Question:what was bad about the surface repair experience? I'm curious, as I've been fairly pleased with mine over the last 6 months but I haven't looked into the repairability of it. I'd read that MS were pretty good on warranty claims, but should I be concerned? For reference, the keyboard has been run over by a forklift once already (don't ask), but I've been fairly impressed so far.
I know this won't be as easy to work on as my old thinkpads, but should I be concerned about warranty repairs? If so, I might want to consider a cheap chromebook solely to use in my warehouse.

The one I opened was made up mostly of glue and solder with some components in between. It was a Surface Laptop. iFixit are way better at describing the pains of trying to open it up: https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Microsoft+Surface+Laptop+Tea...
They give the newer (2019) variants a far better score, so Microsoft are at least on a good path there.
