Cei de la iFixIt au reusit sa achizitioneze MacBook Pro-ul Retina al companiei Apple si l-au desfacut pentru a vedea ce se ascunde in interiorul sau. Service-ul a descoperit ca Apple a montat un set special de suruburi in MacBook-urile sale, acestea necesitand achizitionarea unei surubelnite speciale pentru a fi desfacute. Totusi nu aici este problema, ci la restul componentelor deoarece Apple a lipit memoria RAM de placa logica, astfel ca orice alegeti in Mac-ul vostru va ramane acolo pana il schimbati, neavand posibilitatea de a face upgrade RAM-ului existent.
Just like in the iPhone 4/4S (and the MacBook Air), proprietary Pentalobe screws prevent folks from accessing the machine’s internals. That means you need a special screwdriver just to remove the bottom cover.
As in the MacBook Air, the RAM is soldered to the logic board. Max out at 16GB now, or forever hold your peace—you can’t upgrade.
The proprietary SSD isn’t upgradeable either (yet), as it is similar but not identical to the one in the Air. It is a separate daughtercard, and we’re hopeful we can offer an upgrade in the near future.
Din pacate nici noile SSD-uri implementate de catre Apple nu pot fi schimate de catre utilizatori, cel putin deocamdata, insa nu trebuie sa va faceti mari sperante ca pe viitor lucrurile se vor schimba. Continuand, cei de la iFixIt spun ca bateria este lipita de carcasa Mac-ului si cablurile trackpad-ului sunt montate acolo, deci la desfacere s-ar putea sa ditrugeti bateria impreuna cu acele cabluri. La final ramane ecranul care nu mai este protejat de vreo structura de sticla si este lipit de carcasa, iar daca se strica ceva in el trebuie sa schimbati intreg laptop-ul.
The lithium-polymer battery is glued rather than screwed into the case, which increases the chances that it’ll break during disassembly. The battery also covers the trackpad cable, which tremendously increases the chance that a user will shear the cable in the battery removal process.
The display assembly is completely fused, and there’s no glass protecting it. If anything ever fails inside the display, you will need to replace the entire (extremely expensive) assembly.
In ceea ce priveste posibilitatea de a repara MacBook Pro-ul Retina Display, cei de la iFixIt i-au acordat nota 1, deci orice alegeti in produsul vostru va ramane acolo pana la final si in cazul in care se strica ceva, va trebui sa il schimbati cu totul.
