That would be super helpful. I was under the impression that the recent ones aren't swappable, it would be great if I could replace my surface with an actual laptop soon.
So, I've tried it with my T14 Gen1 (which, as I just found out is already 6 years old... Yeowza), and honestly... It's pretty hard to get the keyboard out of that one already.
It's nothing like I remember with older models, where you can take off the keyboard out by itself and slot a new one in, but now you need to pry off the mouse buttons of the trackpad, loosen screws under it and pry the keyboard forward to be able to get it out. The mouse buttons are also attached to it, which makes even more anxiety-inducing to get it out.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they removed the function overall in the most recent models, seeing as how it is with this model already.
