Galaxy Note 10.1 teardown reveals pleasantly serviceable design
Quote:
Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1 may have just debuted last Friday, but eager iFixit tinkerers have already managed to post a full disassembly guide, replete with high-resolution photos and detailed notes. In a nutshell, the teardown reveals an impressively thin device but at the cost of opting for a lower-capacity battery.
One thing iFixit found particularly interesting about the Galaxy Note 10.1 is its excellent reparability. Despite being thinner than third-generation iPads, this latest Galaxy Note proves to be unusually serviceable. Samsung used a minimal amount of glue, just five differently sized screws and didn't fuse the inexpensive digitizer (i.e. the sheet of glass-composite which covers the display) to the relatively expensive display panel. Nice move, Samsung.
