Does anyone out there know (or can you find out) if the new Microsoft Surface tablet will have a battery that the owner can replace, or will the device have to be sent somewhere to have a new battery installed? I currently have a Fujitsu tablet with Windows 7. I bought it because it has a battery I can replace by myself if necessary. I think that for a lot of consumers, this is a decisive point in choosing which tablet to buy. If, for example, I have to choose between buying a new Fujitsu tablet with Windows 8, where I can change the battery myself, and a Microsoft Surface, where only a technician can replace the battery, I'll have to choose the Fujitsu device.

There are very few technical details available for this new tablet. We don't even know which company will be manufacturing the device yet.

Here is a link to the official page for the new Surface Tablet with all of the currently available technical details.
