I am surprised by few things after newest rMBP teardowns
- Battery takes less space, than I thought, just eyeballing it but it seems that in (classic)rMBP battery takes more volume percent-wise.
- Battery is smaller by ~10% than non touch bar model (49.2 Wh vs 54.5 Wh) and significantly smaller than the classic rmbps.
- Two fans, classics had 1.
- Touchbar has speakers speakers under palm rest, and not under grills, thus it has slits on the bottom whereas the non-touchbar has not.
- Visually speakers are bigger in the non touch bar version
- Touchbar has ssd soldered and non-touch bar - removable ssd
- Touchbar has more gaps and unused volume - mainly in battery area.
Maybe there will be major reconstruction inside rMBP13 next year? Just like 2012 vs 2013 rMBP13? 2012 model was a mess (by Apple standards) inside.
Like the comment in iFixit, maybe rMBP13 was not designed for touchbar in the first place? It was decided later to make it?
- static_noise 10y agoNow we need a someone to drop it in an aquarium and collect the bubbles to show just how much air is in that device.
- eriknstr 10y agoIf you did that, recorded it and the video got popular you could earn back the money you spent on the device multiple times over in ad-revenue. Of course, the crux is that if the video does not get popular you'll just be yet another fool who wasted a bunch of money doing something stupid.
- beojan 10y ago> 49.2 kWh vs 54.5 kWh That would be quite the battery. Really, it's 49.2 Wh and 54.5 Wh, not kWh.
