But iFixit says if it becomes clear modular notebooks can’t match the integrated Apple Silicon, it may adjust the repairability score upward (for example iFixit doesn’t ding smartphone repairability for using SoCs). IFixit says it remains unclear if notebooks that use modular/socketed components could match or come close to Apple’s M1 Pro and M1 Max performance. Notably, that’s up from the 1/ 16-inch Intel MacBook Pro got for repairability.
Overall, iFixit gave the new MacBook Pro a 4/10 repairability score. On the whole, iFixit notes this is new territory with the notebooks featuring the new Apple Silicon SoCs which bring huge performance improvements. iFixit has already performed one of its traditional high-quality teardowns on the new 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro, noting that while those. However, the teardown shows a number of other challenges for repairability like pentalobe screws, difficulty just opening the case, and no ability to replace the display without losing True Tone and no replacement option for Touch ID without losing the functionality. IFixit also says the logic board removal is easier than the older models. However, you have to disassemble the trackpad to reach the middle two pull tabs. The battery is much easier to replace with Apple including adhesive pull tabs and it’s not trapped under the logic board. While there are a number of improvements when it comes to repairability of the new MacBook Pro, there are still many difficult aspects. In the new iFiixt video, we get an inside look at the new MacBook Pro when it comes to opening the notebook, battery removal, trackpad removal, logic board removal, new display cable design, fan removal, speaker removal, and display removal.
