Microsoft Surface Studio Teardown service

Microsoft has started  its all-in-one PC targeted at creative users and even as the Surface Studio begins making its way to a lucky few, the folks at Apple Lab  have taken apart the device and reveal that its disk is upgradable.

The Apple Lab  team, true to its style, picked apart the  surface studio  from Microsoft and revealed that the PC generates a lot of heat, which is why the device packs in several vents.

"The Surface Studio is just full of hot air. Literally. And Microsoft had to pipe that air out somewhere. The Studio features acres of air vents, a beefy heat sink, and two fans-one each for the CPU and GPU. Plus, the power supply has its own internal fan. It looks like Microsoft is getting quite a bit cooler than its late 2000s "I'm a PC" reputation,"  the Apple Lab team in a blog post.

The team disclosed that the Surface Studio has plenty of soldered-down parts, as well as a custom motherboard. Microsoft has obviously designed the PC keeping the fact that in mind that it is not serviceable by the end-user. As a result, the Surface Studio's CPU and RAM are all soldered to the motherboard.

So basically, if one buys the base model with 8 GB of RAM, rest assured he will not be able to upgrade the same. However, even though the memory cannot be bumped up one could increase the disk size, one can add a bigger disk as the storage is upgradable.
