iFixit has torn apart another device. This time it’s the tablet/smartphone called the Dell Streak.
The Dell Streak Teardown reveals that it’s quite easy to open up the device. iFixit mention that they were able to reverse engineer the assembly process within minutes.
Before we go on to what was found inside, iFixit also mentioned in an email to us that they were beginning a new rating system as explained below.
With this teardown, we’re starting something new: rating hardware from 1-10 based on how easy it is to service. Our repairability ranking will factor in the good, the bad, and the ugly aspects of servicing the device. A ten means the manufacturer did everything possible to enable repair, while we might award a one to a car with the hood welded shut. We are quite pleased with the Streak, awarding it an 8 out of 10.
