More troubling is that Apple appears to be phasing out the non-Retina MacBook Pros, which were much more fixable, upgradable machines. The Terrible Battery Removal (Photo Courtesy iFixIt) These demerits and more detailed below add up to a terrible 1 out of 10 repairability score. How about replacing a non-responsive trackpad? Now it’s stuck (literally) underneath the battery, and guarded by a glued-down metal plate. What about replacing the aging battery three years from now? That will take more heating and prying than before.

So what if we want to upgrade to 8 GB? Tough luck our $1300 computer doesn’t have a slot for such shenanigans. We opted for the base 4 GB RAM version, and of course all four jiggabytes were soldered to the logic board. While the 15″ sported only iterative changes, this guy was a whole new enchilada. With the MacBook Pro 15″ Retina teardown out of the way, we focused our dissection magic on its 13″ brother. – Cirrus 4208-CRZ Audio Codec, similar to Cirrus CS4207 – Elpida J4208EFBG 512 MB DDR3 SDRAM (16 chips for 8 GB total) – 2.0 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor (Turbo Boost up to 3.2 GHz) with 6 MB shared 元 cache Some noteworthy revisions come on the logic board, including the all-new Haswell Core i7 processor, Iris Pro Graphics, and Thunderbolt 2 support: Also in residence are a pair of Skyworks SE5516 dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac WLAN front-end modules.

Apple added a new AirPort card that supports 802.11ac Wi-Fi.The Broadcom BCM4360 on this AirPort card enables operation on the 5 GHz band at speeds up to 1.3 Gbps, while a Broadcom BCM20702 Bluetooth 4.0 Processor gets Bluetoothy things done for your convenience. One of the few differences: It now has a sleekified heat sink with just a single thermal pad, thanks to the more closely integrated GPU which we attribute to the “Haswellification” process, as we call it. – Samsung K9HFGY8S5C 32 GB NAND Flash Modules (8 chips for 256 GB total) – Samsung K4P4G324EB-FGC2 512 MB Mobile DRAM The new Samsung-based SSD contains the following ICs: The 15″ Retina now has a PCIe-based SSD instead of the mSATA drive of yesteryear. MacBook Pro 15″ Retina Display Highlights: Note that this is now your only 15″ option Apple stopped selling the non-Retina 15″ MacBook Pro. So unless you’re keen on soldering, replacing the headphone jack just became a $1,000 fix. Now people can’t replace their headphone jack without replacing the logic board. It scored the same terrible 1 out of 10 repairability believe it or not, the machine became slightly harder to fix. We did a “quick-n-dirty” teardown on that machine, since very little changed in 2013. Up first is the 15″ model, which is essentially the 2012 unit with a couple of performance upgrades. Today we have a tale of two MacBook Pro Retina teardowns, a 13″ and a 15″ variant. We’re going a bit teardown-crazy over here, but that’s expected everyone’s trying to release their products just in time for Christmas. IFixit Chief Information Architect Miroslav Djuric writes:

The Fix Kit obviously also contains new installation adhesive as well as cleaning wipes to safely install your new battery.IFixIt Tears Down Late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 13″ and 15″

As it contains acetone which can irritate skin and eyes we’ve added a protection set consisting of safety glasses and gloves.

To avoid this problem, we’ve included all the necessary specialty bits as well as a bit driver in the Fix Kit option.
