Griffin has several Switch models (a few older models, two new ones) and different Joy-Cons on-hand (also a mix of new and old), and her testing shows that there's a lot of variance in the screen's color temperature, its brightness, as well as how some of the Joy-Con's internal components appear in a teardown.

And if you needed proof that the screen is glass, here's what the glass looks like after Nelson scrapes it: Both Nelson's and iFixit's teardown videos show that the Galaxy Z Flip is a pretty impressive piece of engineering — but they also show that the phone has some flaws that could lead to durability issues at some point.

The teardown by Derek Jeter, their chief executive, continued with last week's trade of J.T. Realmuto, the best catcher in baseball, to Philadelphia for prospects and catcher Jorge Alfaro, who last season became the first player to record more than 130 strikeouts, fewer than 20163 walks and no more than 10 home runs in a season.

But according to SamCentral, on the S29, Samsung will combine the two to create what it's calling Intelligent Scan, which seems to be the company's answer to Apple's Face ID.

Microsoft started shipping Surface Studio orders a little earlier than expected last week, which means iFixit has started tearing down the all-in-one PC. As this is a computer, there aren't too many surprises to be found, but the teardown does reveal a few things about Microsoft's approach to this unusual PC. The first is a noteworthy ARM chip found lurking behind the 28-inch display.

The Boston Celtics executed a similar teardown and extremely effective rebuild in roughly half the time; Philadelphia could have as many as four first-round picks in what's regarded as an average NBA Draft, but Boston, which own the Brooklyn Nets' first-round pick in addition to their own, have only a slightly worse chance than the Sixers at snaring one of the two potentially franchise-changing talents in the field.

The company, which provides repair tools and manuals for popular gadgets like the iPhone and PlayStation, has handed the Surface Laptop a score of 0 out of 10 in terms of user repairability, stating definitively that the laptop "is not meant to be opened or repaired; you can't get inside without inflicting a lot of damage." iFixit's detailed teardown illustrates just how difficult it is to open the Surface.

The connector that normally links the floppy drive to rest of the computer has almost identical pin spacing to your average SD, so the unused pins were removed and the remaining ones bent upward to meet the SD once it's inside the drive, like so:Super smart, but also might damage your cards after a while (Credit: Gilmour509//Imgur)For more about the build process watch the teardown video, or browse the other photos of its construction.[Imgur]
