HDX Kindle Fire 7 "is a nightmare to repair, the iFixit teardown - Gadgetblog (Blog)

Into this time iFixit managed to get their hands on a Kindle Fire HDX 7 “, the latest refresh of its Amazon Android tablet (but heavily customized) coming up in a couple of days on the U.S. market. As we know already from the end of September, the tablet is a combination of technology, but it seems that for this new edition have been made of the choices of interior design is not particularly happy on the side of repairability.

From 7/10 Into the evaluation of the previous model (ie the Kindle Fire HD 2012) it’s down to 3 points out of 10 , a judgment that by the time we used to see for Apple devices .

Into The reasons for a repairability score so low? iFixit suspect “that Amazon has felt a bit ‘insecure when he realized the HDX,” because so many – too many – components are fixed together with un’accortezza a bit’ too, with much glue and stickers that also complicate the removal of secondary components. The battery for example is glued and requires removal of the motherboard, which in turn is attached to a chassis that is separate from the screen to be replaced. Moreover, like many other modern tablet protective glass is one with the display, and this makes the replacement of a shattered glass little less.

Into Beyond all the HDX Kindle Fire 7 “tablet is one of the coolest things about this year-end 2013: 1920 × 1200 screen has a stellar density that far exceeds even the iPad Retina, while the Snapdragon 800 ensures that there power is always available for any task. The only limit is the closed environment to the internal market of Amazon, like every other line of the tablet Kindle Fire. The Kindle Fire HDX will debut on October 18 in the United States.
