Interested in having a look inside Apple’s new MacBook Air or the Retina Display-equipped MacBook Pro, both of which just debuted at the WWDC keynote earlier this week?
Then point your Web browser to iFixit. The MacBook Air 13-inch Mid-2012 Teardown reveals some interesting tidbits, including a new Solid State Disk (SSD) connector.
MacBook Pro with Retina Display Teardown might actually be less of a surprise, since Apple’s already given viewers of its videos and the keynote presentation a look inside the device. But this – like all of iFixit’s tear downs – is a very complete look inside the machine, complete with highlights on what sort of chips are being used and how they’re put together.
Fascinating but also frustrating. Those devices are now landfill and I’ve a three week wait for mine to arrive.
those devices have already been reassembled. they’re not landfill. You’ll note that unlike some tear downs, in this case they avoided doing anything drastic.
Yes, I saw that they weren’t willing to tackle the glue or screen. Not many objects torn down by them are treated with such respect! Feeling better now 🙂
The name of the company is, after all, “iFiixit,” not “iBrokeit.”
no more landfill than anything else. the most common need, a battery, is serviceable for $200…we spend more on scheduled maintenance for our cars than that.
