Boy, there's some fairly scathing pieces of commentary in this teardown (particularly coming from what could be expected to be a pro-Mac site).


I have no idea whether it is or isn't, but why would you expect a computer repair shop to be pro-Mac? I would expect Mac's to be much more likely to be unrepairable (and thus unprofitable) than other hardware


The killer summary surprised me:

“Meanwhile, the fundamental problem with this laptop remains—if the slightest thing ever goes wrong, you’ll be replacing half the machine. Even if the keyboard is perfect this time, you’re taking a gamble on everything else. Our advice? Save your money.”

Ouch!


How is the screen cable? Will it break as easly as with the last model?
