MacBook Pro Touch Bar : the many surprises discovered by iFixit – ZDNet France

a few weeks ago, iFixit had already pinned the latest MacBook Pro standard version 13 inch. As usual, the specialist has put parts of the computer assess the “reparability”. And as usual, Apple delivers a machine very closed, almost irreparable, or editable, which earned him the score of 2/10…

today, the dismantlers are attacked to the version with the famous Touch Bar and the result is not the best, even worse since the score obtained is 1/10. Many surprises have been discovered. Once again, SSD is soldered to the motherboard, so you can not change it. Just like the battery, the RAM and the processor. Only the Trackpad can be easily removed…

The Touch Bar is fragile. It is difficult to remove without damaging it even paying attention. “Despite our efforts to separate the Oled panel of the upper part of the hull, the digitizer has detached from the screen”, explains the specialist.

More fun, finally, if you still has the humor having left nearly € 2000 for this Mac, it appears that the speaker grilles are not used for nothing : they are not aligned with the internal speakers, their presence is purely decorative, because the sound is broadcast through the vents on the sides. As shown in the photo above.
