Following yesterday's teaser teardown of the updated MacBook Air, iFixit has
now given Apple's new Retina MacBook Pro the same treatment.
Apple of course showed off a fair bit of the machines internals during the
keynote in order to promote all of the innovations included inside, but
iFixit's teardown still provides an interesting hands-on look at the
internals.
Unsurprisingly, the Retina MacBook Pro is not designed to be user-accessible
, with the slim form factor requiring a number of proprietary components
that are designed and assembled for maximum space efficiency rather than
upgradeability and repairability. This has resulted in iFixit dubbing the
machine "the least repairable laptop we’ve taken apart".
Taking a number of cues from the MacBook Air, the new MacBook Pro uses RAM
soldered directly onto the logic board, as well as custom solid-state drives
that include a new connector incompatible with existing third-party drives
on the market.

Apple has even taken to gluing the large battery into the body of the Retina
MacBook Pro, with iFixit ultimately giving up on trying to remove it for
fear of puncturing a battery cell. The glued-in battery pack also covers
the trackpad cable, making it nearly inaccessible and susceptible to damage
if users attempt to remove the battery.
Otherwise, the internals of the Retina MacBook Pro are fairly
straightforward, with a large and densely-packed logic board with left-side
ports integrated, a separate I/O board for the right-side ports, the
asymmetric fan touted by Apple, and custom speaker assemblies. |
