The Microsoft Surface Pro 5 Teardown
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2017
- It’s the Microsoft Surface Pro 5 and it looks nearly identical to the last version. Same ports, in exactly the same places, even the same physical dimensions. In fact the only way we can tell this is the new Surface Pro is by the more discrete vents. We have a feeling this teardown is going to give us a little deja vu. But we can’t be sure until we dig in, so let’s teardown down Microsoft’s Surface Pro 5.
Get yourself and iOpener to take apart your Surface Pro (or any other tablet!)

Hey Microsoft! It's not a competition to see who can make the least repairable device possible!
I have a Surface Pro 5 (1796). After 15 months, the SSD Harddrive stopped working. It would only boot to the BIOS and didn't load Windows.
After doing some research online, we found out that lots of other people had the same problem and there s NO FIX for that. The SSD is NOT replaceable. It's good as garbage now.
YEP!!! that is my problem, and that is why I am researching "how to fix it". Turns out that Microsoft screwed us all. they take thousands of dollars for a system that lasts 16 months. Greatest waste of cash. We all know that the hard-drive is the first to die, why would they solder it to the board and make it impossible to replace.
Ha ha ha.... its possible. I dont know how to do it in yur region.... but we can do it...
I have the same problem. just buy a new SSD bga chip and install it.
it works.
Thanks for tearing down the Surface Pro 5! I know it's technically called the "New Surface Pro," but I'm fairly sure most places will stick to calling it the 5, as there is no reason to drop the numbers.
It's sad to see it's repairability is so low again, but it should be expected by this point I guess
M$ really went on a war with Apple with this one.
On war for which one uses more glue
There's no "war" - people will choose iPad *every time* - the MINOR numbers are the vocal ones who can't wait to shout out how they chose the Surface... but iPad is ubiquitous and well established, iOS a dream, AppleCare absolutely unparalleled... Apple have ZERO "threat" from this schizophrenic compromised junk.
unlokia Surface's competitor isn't iPad. It's the MacBook.
At least Apple didn't glue their displays.
+unlokia the applecare argument is a joke, because even a cheap insurance is already better than apple care. My friend got 2 times a new phone with a relative cheap insurance. Apple care is useless in most cases of broken sreens and that is one of the most common cases. So just pay a bit more and you have "apple care plus" for everything.
More than the Surface laptop! 😂
The heat is directed directly to the battery. I doubt this is coincidence.... Even Microsoft themselves don't offer battery replacements.
good eye , almost dident notice that
And we see some minor scratches at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7🤣🤣
I'm so glad you called it Surface Pro 5 and not some stupid name like "New Surface Pro"
It'll be more confusing when the next one is called surface pro 5
TheAndrew0085 the "Newer Surface Pro 5 2018 i7 with Performance Base"
...until an actual Surface Pro 5 comes out and then what? This is obviously just a re-brush of the SP4.
what if 2 years later MS introduce Surface Pro 5?
IxousLouis yeah but what about when they actually release the sp5??
is it the same teardown as with the 6 version?
I am wondering the same?
i like the hand wave at the end!
I prefer Dell because it is super easy to swap out hard drive, memory, and battery.
Microsoft is betraying Windows with this lack of modularity/upgradability...
actually it is leaving room for OEMs to take on that market...
Hi!
Have you opened a Surface Pro 6? Where I work we have a 512Gb that no longer turns on anything, we want to know if the storage is welded or removable, mostly because of the business information.
I have wait for surface 3 teardown so long.....
ahaha :D me too
Does anyone know if the Surface Pro 6 has removeable M.2 storage? Or, is it a chip that is soldered onto the MB? Trying to see if I can salvage data off of a "bricked" device. No physical damage but the device just won't power up.
what is the empty space in the top left for ?
Wow, a 1 surprises me as I would bet for a 0! :P
ThinkCleverAndSmart well repair is possible, I would assume a zero for something that breaks when you open it.
Yeah, and they said the screen is likely to break during disassembly...
pls make video on MS type cover tear down
Best Chanel Thx For Ever things
what are you going to do when the actual surface pro 5 comes out
Can I use surface pro 4 screen on surface pro 5?
0:13 *DEJA VU*
I'VE JUST BEEN TO THIS PLACE BEFORE
iFixIt more like iBreakIt
allright so they finally crumbled and accepted the 5 name ! or is it simply thirdpartie there naming it surface pro 5 (nothing on microsoft own site listing this as surface pro 5.. either'way, then i really doubt that any future comming surface pro 5 will then see daylight and they will either kick the number line or called the comming editions 6 etc.
sry but if you want to work with a computer you still have to use desktop computers, because power needs space! I have a Tablet, IPad, Laptop and a tower pc. Nothing is running better as the tower pc
And tower PC's are cheaper, too
But i love your videos :) Go on with it 👍👍
Nothing I have used comes even close to the perfect blend of quality, usability and mobility that the surface pro offers.
do we still have devices that will score a 5 or more these days?
Yes, we do. Though ifixit not touching them.
Andy Lam OnePlus 5.
And the comment of the year goes to...
thanks for the tear down but ports choice is strange ... espeically with Eve V tablet out in the wild, such surface pro specs n trends are getting obsolete ... atleast one usb-c thunderbolt would have made it a little current gen Satya Nadella
That was a decision made by Panos not Satya. Panos did say in a verge interview he had played with putting usb c in the device but the market research they did with users told him that the majority of their port needs are still usb a and not usb c
good for MS OEM.. MS not losing anything.
Hi ive just replaced the screen on mine and the wireless doesnt seem to be as strong....where are the antennas?...can anyone help as i dont know if ive damaged mine..
why does this model have 1724 on it? when i searched that model it popped up as surface pro 4 wth!!??? ordered the display and toredown the screen but come to find out different connections!!!!
@IxousLouis why that's not its name.
could please make one for teardown surface pro 7 pen
What about the i7 version? How's the cooling on that look? It's definitely not passively cooled
Have a small fan inside i7 version
Will you make a video of the oneplus 5?
where can i get the screen for surface pro 5 can not find it even on ebay!!!
you've got a good job.
Can we replace the battery of pro 4 with pro 5?
Well, at least it scored more than the Surface Laptop! :D
Soldered ssd, gg for me
Alan Xu is the 2017 version capable of hard drive removal?
If it were modular or easily repaired, then there would be complaints about how thick it is.
I really don't enjoy hearing someone saying the wrong product name in these videos... It's not "Surface Pro 5" as the real Surface Pro 5 is still yet to be even announced.
Can you solder on more ram or replace the ram by removing and resoldering larger chips? I absolutely HATE that I'm stuck with a 4GB model
Technically? Yes; as long as the type, density and rank is correct. Good luck finding a shop that will do it.
This Surface Pro has an Intel Core M chip which is known for its fanless designs. do all of the Pro 5's have no fans? I find it a bit hard to believe with the i5 and i7 models.
Only the i7 model has fan
is the ram removerable??
I think is soldering
i dont understand the left side .. it would fit a small low spinning fan .. or a bigger heatsink on the left to have more capacity to dissapate heat ..
the higher tier i5 and i7 models have fans
They mentioned a LTE model so thats probably what they're saving that space for if i had to guess
Intel M3 not require fan..those empty side might be for fan for i7 variant.
There is a fan exactly there in the Core i7 model.
The space is used for a fan on the i7 model. And I also think the LTE electronics are stored there on models with LTE. On the fanless models it's just wasted space. Which really irks me tbh. In my mind they could shift things around and increase the battery size or make space for a replaceable drive or something. But of course that would significantly complicate the manufacturing process...
Need the i5 256gb teardown...
can i have the backgroud music name?
mine has a fan..
Could you please post a video on the surface 7 pro dissasembly.
it's not called the 'Surface Pro 5' by Microsoft and therefore should not be called it here. Also, not covered was the fact that there is also an Intel i5 variety as well as an i7...which incidentally is the only model that has fans--meaning a different tear-down/assembly
It's now called the Surface Pro 5. Their video stood a better test of time than your comment. Also why didn't you mention the LTE one in your comment?
SSD is not changeable... Micro$oft want to sell overpriced storrage space
Now from which companies have we seen this before!
From banana company of course
The surface PRO really gets a core M and 4GB of RAM?!
It is the base model. The Core i5 model is also passively cooled, while the i7 has a fan.
tbh it runs very sluggish when its on the 4GB version
Dat waste of room around the battery though
Maxime Di Meglio in the gap there will either be a fan i7 or in the i5 and m3 there will be an option for LTE
This isn't the Surface Pro 5. It's just called Surface Pro.
Is new surface pro
Do surface pro 6
poor use of space for the battery..
engineer a better solution my man!
It's called the surface pro 2017, not the the surface pro 5. The pro 5 is going to be released next year
on 1.09 you can see a WEB PAGE.
Can you please share with a link?
She said cameras as in plural right? Im asking because when i flash my light at ny camera there are 5 more holes . I know they're not all cameras but the one further to the right is giving me second cam vibes 😅
The official name for the new surface is "Surface Pro". This is not amateur hour.
Microsoft the new apple
Another 1 out of 10
Unethical Microsoft : focus on designing products that you customers can repair! Non-repairable electronics become e-waste & short life products that are easy to break dishonor your customers!
Customer satisfaction with a product, service, software, institution, government or anything else should be the primary focus : customers are people : if you can read this so are you (excluding AI 42)
It actually called Surface Pro (2017)
the motherboard looks like apple's logic board. this surface pro5 is much better than the piece of crap new surface laptop.
5 ??? 5 ???? it's just a surface pro 2017 edition, microsoft never said it surface pro 5. wtf
it's surface pro and not surface pro 5
It is 5th generation Surface Pro, so it is Surface Pro 5.
cám ơn vì đó là một cô gái xinh đẹp
*Surface Pro
this is not a surface pro 5
They know that. It's much easier to just keep with the naming scheme even if Microsoft ditched it. It's either Surface Pro 5 or Surface Pro 2017. You can thank Microsoft for that as almost no business is going to just call it Surface Pro because that will confuse the average consumer
What If the real surface pro 5 coming out next year?
Surface Pro 4 2017 version.
Because of the screen flicker bug on its BIOS they made this one
You sure about that?
Microsoft has made some crap. As always.
No, please dont call it Surface pro 5. Instead Name it Surface Pro (2017).
i want a surface pro 5 and they are destroying it :c ahh first comment :v
Microsoft is shit, Dell and HP at least use modular components and don't randomly shut down like my Surface Pro 3 and 4 did, I'll definitely never buy another Microsoft product again!
the same garbage like pro 4 . for more info - sleep of death and permanent black screen!!!
first

leny lv why need that..
This is a channel meant for English speakers. Heck their company is in the US, they speak English, and even their website is in English. Not everyone has the obligation to put subtitles for native speakers. Especially when their target viewers are mostly English speakers.

Richard Mak if you want tutorial. Ask for a teacher. Again no one has the obligation to do so.
There are some channels with Chinese subtitles over English video. You can visit them
我说的就是英文字幕
Surface is entirely a piece of crap!
How does this only get a 1 out of 10, the surface book got a 0 rightly so because you have to cut through the keyboard to open it. How is this only 1 point better than that atrocity?
