The Surface Pro 2 sports a 2-stage kickstand, with options for a 24 or 40-degree viewing angle.

Oh, how kickstands have progressed since we were kids …

The kickstand is secured with two screws. Happily, our new Pro Tech Screwdriver Set includes the perfect T5 Torx driver to reach in and get this teardown started.

The kickstand comes off with little fuss, but if the previous model is any indication, repairability issues will soon begin to … show themselves.
