Apple MacBook Pro Retina dismantled piece by piece

The new MacBook Pro Retina is discovered as a notebook with many restrictions to update or repair the hardware

The guys at iFixit have already passed the blade with the new Apple MacBook Pro Retina and we have made interesting discoveries and images. The new design and new Retina display are the two most notable. In order to reduce the thickness of the laptop Apple has redesigned all equipment is divided into 11 basic pieces that ... intricately assembled, result in this attractive device.

Among other things found a lithium polymer battery 6-cell (but interestingly not all the same) that is attached to the chassis replacing them somewhat difficult, a surprisingly RAM module soldered to the motherboard (and therefore not expandable ) and the connection standard SSD memory (so neither can be changed freely). Interestingly Retina screen, which is only 400 € of extra cost to the user, is the most simple to change.




The result is that Apple has created a portable extreme technology, but only gets a rating of 1 out of 10 in ease of repair. To put this in context, last year's model was a 7 out of 10. It is logical that many manufacturers design their products so that only their technicians to repair services, but with the new MacBook Pro Retina seems that, under the guise of an ultra-thin, have eliminated the modularity and ease of repair. Moral of the story, to show off design, you have to have complexity and difficulty of repair.
