[dba-Tech] Repairing the Surface Pro

Hi Hans:

Thats not really surprising. It's a tablet, not a PC. If it is to function
as a tablet, then you have to expect this sort of trade off in order to have
something portable enough to be a tablet. If you want something fully
upgradable, you should buy a PC. If you only care to upgrade ram and hard
drive, get a regular laptop.
