InformationWeek’s Larry Seltzer reports that UBM TechInsights did a partial teardown of the new MacBook Pro from Apple, and also a separate teardown of the solid state drive (SSD) in the MacBook Pro, including x-ray images.
Concurring with iFixIt in their RetinaBook teardown, Techinsights says it’s immediately clear that the MacBook Pro is almost impossible to repair and probably quite difficult to recycle, what with many components, such as RAM, soldered to the motherboard, and other parts, such as the display and battery, glued in, making access to other components difficult or impossible.
