MacBook Pro Teardown Reveals Battery is User Replaceable

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.

Apple wants to cut prices, add features to Air

Apple wants to cut prices, add features to Air

If there is one thing to hurt Apple, it’s a real weapon in the Netbook arena. Netbook have on the laptop market is very much in the same way the iPhone blew up the cellular world. However, if you’re thinking cheap and on Macs, which Mini’s $ 600 unless you have a laptop and a $ 1,000 MacBook is easily overlooked, though many manufacturers offer Netbook at half price.With all that in mind, the word on the street is that Apple wants to slash the price of the MacBook Air, so it is a feature-rich, high-end netbook contender with a price of between $ 1,300 to $ 1,500. The new features include integrated support for 3G and SSDs in all models of the air. There is also the possibility that we could see GPS built-in as Apple is working on Geolocation in Snow Leopard edition of OS X, but just how much that it is in the air to see.

Our take? Apple has to move away from the idea of a “high-end netbook.” There is a strong, growing market, and the air having a name for himself early on. The replacement air is not likely to be able to back that momentum, unless Apple finds a way to make the sticker price in half.
