Apple's new 12-in. MacBook is a "repair nightmare," as tough on
do-it-yourselfers as 2012's first Retina-equipped MacBook Pro,
according to iFixit.
"The internals are unnecessarily complex;
it's a minefield of pentalobe and tri-wing screws, fragile cables snaked
around essential components, and a solidly-glued-down multi-cell
battery," iFixit reported on its blog Wednesday. "Tack on the non-upgradeability, and the Retina MacBook is a repair nightmare."
San
Luis Obispo, Calif.-based iFixit -- one of the Web's best-known
electronics repair firms -- awards repairability scores between 1 and 10
to devices after pulling them apart. It gave the MacBook a "1," the
same slapped on the first MacBook Pro with a high-resolution display nearly three years ago. At that time, iFixit said the Retina MacBook Pro was the "least-repairable laptop we've taken apart."
