Microsoft Surface Pro 4, the latest model so far in Surface Pro compact laptop family, is expected to perform as a flag for Windows laptop elegant design. Featured as a tablet with a removable keyboard, the front of it is dominated by a 12.3-inch display, which was designed to be viewed, touched, and written on with high contrast and low glare. In other words, the screen is fragile and isn’t exactly known for taking a beating. So here comes the problem, what customers usually do with a broken Surface Pro 4 screen?
