That’s such a trash product. Crap quality components and no repairability. Hell even an iPad is better. Surface is bottom tier.
I mean I got 6 of em for free, and ya can't beat free LMAO
I actually had been putting off cracking one open for awhile now but the SSDs in them had been failing one by one and I'm on the last one now lolol
I went for this method of replacing the SSD. It's less stressful than trying not to break the screen.
Oh hey now there's an idea! I could probably 3d print a little cover too!
Thanks! If there was such a thing as gold on Lemmy I'd give you some, but there's not so you'll have to settle for this 🥇
And to think, MS could have done the same damn thing
Certainly meant to hate toward you bro free is for me!
I have the misfortune of working on these from time to time.
I wish they were more repairable. I have a Surface Pro 8 that serves my needs quite well and I was able to upgrade the SSD to a TB from the 256GB it came with, but I had to do some shenanigans with power settings and whatnot because the only SSD I could find was technically only compatible with the Surface Pro 9 and newer. But it works now and it has been a very good machine for getting through medical school. An iPad would not have met my needs and as much as I hate to admit it, having my Surface and my desktop terminal linked through OneDrive has actually been very helpful.
Full disclosure, I am one of those nerds that bought and used a Surface Duo 2 phone until I broke the hinge by dropping it wrong. I did eventually crack it open to mostly fix the hinges, but shattered the glass in the process. I fixed that with 2 layers of laminate sticker things after assembling the shards back onto the phone.
Username checks out
Look, I'm a 4th year med student in my 30's. I know what I'm about. My undergraduate degree is in History and I worked in IT and sysadmin for a couple years before I went back to school to go into medicine.
Oh i didn't mean it in a negative way, quite the contrary
I didn't take it as a negative! Just expressing that you're right on the mark about my username being quite relevant.
Well I guess we've got the gremlin part right too 😂
When explaining why I need to go into Emergency Medicine as a specialty I tell people that I'm a naturally nocturnal basement-dwelling gremlin with weapons-grade ADHD.
It usually gets a laugh.
(For context, most ERs are in the hospital basement)
I've had my surface pro 3 since like... 2016? Still runs great. Never been very happy with the keyboard though.
