iFixit Gives 2015 Macbook 1/10

Teardown specialist iFixit has found that the secret behind Apple’s new Macbook is…glue. Lots and lots of glue. The company gave the device a 1/10 repairability score. Most of the internals are battery, with the connector hidden underneath the notebook’s logic board, as it is on the iPad. The unit’s display is again fused to the cover glass, saving space (and improving contrast – Man. Ed.) but meaning that owners will need to replace two components if one fails. The single USB-C port was criticised, as it is likely to wear down faster than on devices with multiple ports.
