Microsoft Surface Studio

The team over at iFixit have wasted no time taking their tools to the new Microsoft Surface Studio and have today published their in-depth teardown revealing the inner workings of the new desktop computer which was unveiled by Microsoft late last month.

Microsoft describes the new Surface Studio desktop PC is a system that transforms your desk into a creative studio offering you a powerful digital canvas and providing a more natural and immersive way to draw, design and work.

Microsoft Surface Studio

Specifications of the Microsoft Surface Studio include :

– 28-inch adjustable PixelSense Display with 4500 x 3000 resolution (192 DPI)—supporting sRGB, DCI-P3, and Vivid color profiles, plus 10-point multi-touch
– 6th-Generation Intel Core i5 or i7 CPU with 8 GB, 16 GB, and 32 GB RAM configuration options
– NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M GPU (paired with 2 GB GDDR5) or GTX 980M (paired with 4 GB GDDR5)
– 1 TB and 2 TB hybrid storage options
– 802.11ac Wi-Fi / Bluetooth 4.0 / Xbox Wireless built-in
– Supports Surface Pen and Surface Dial

After taking their tools to the new Microsoft Surface Studio desktop PC iFixit have awarded the new Microsoft computer with a repair ability score of 5. With 10 being the easiest to repair. Points they noted during the teardown include :

– The base is easy to open and home to several modular components—including the standard SATA hard drive and M.2 SSD—that can be replaced without disassembling the display.
– The entire display assembly can be replaced as a piece, without dismantling the display or the base.
– The RAM, CPU, and GPU are soldered to the board and cannot be upgraded. You may want to think twice about that 8 GB configuration.
– A few components embedded in the display (buttons, front sensors, and speakers) will be difficult to replace if they fail.
