MacBook Pro Teardown Reveals Battery is User Replaceable
You need a screwdriver to do, but the sealed battery in the new MacBook Pros announced on Monday are as interchangeable as the user of the MacBook before. IFixit has already given its usual investigations within the body of the new notebook, and found that, apart from the conversion of the ports and the locking plate for no reason, things are much as before.
The new, larger (and 60 grams heavier) battery is claimed to last seven hours. IFixit noted that the new unit is a 60 watt-hour cell, the 45 watt-hours after the original, may be supposed to last five hours. There will be an increase, but we expect you will be fortunate to even five hours.
The doorless base brings new problems, too. I swapped a 500GB hard drive in my 13 “Unibody MacBook last week, and it was so quick and simple, that is not even worth writing for Gadget Lab. The disk is still as user-replaceable by Apple, but” needed replacement Distance 10 more than screws on the MacBook Unibody “.
IFixit also found that the SD card sticks about half an inch when inserted, a bit chaotic, and that the new combined headphone jack allows a digital connection. It also means that you can not use headphones and a microphone in the same time.
It is obvious, however, that this is still one of the easiest way to Apple machines, which are apart. If you do not believe me, try replacing the hard drive on a 12″ PowerBook.
