- lukifer 8y agoIt's actually a step up: the 2016-2018 MacBook Pro series scores 1/10.
- sudhirj 8y agoThink a 10/10 would be a computer with every part (including RAM, SSD, CPU) user-replaceable with no specialized equipment.
- falcolas 8y agoAnd no consumable components that need to be replaced in the process of a repair (i.e. the adhesive strips holding down the batteries and speakers).
- esmi 8y agoNo need to guess. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg97ovaD-b4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg97ovaD-b4 What Does it Take to get a 10 out of 10 iFixit Repairability Score? They've even issued a few. This one is for a phone. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/11/ifixit-gives-modular-fairphone-2-a-rare-10-out-of-10-for-repairability/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/11/ifixit-gives-modular...
- Eric_WVGG 8y agoThis is mostly due to the keyboard still being part of the chassis. If the keyboard fails, everything needs to be dismantled, and most of the laptop case needs to be replaced. It sounds like the new keyboard is more reliable, but IMO this is an unacceptably bad design. I say that as a person who really likes the "feel" of the new keys, incidentally. I've been harping on about this for years now: If it's true that Apple sees Macs as "like trucks" (and thus iOS devices as the cars that most people need), they need to make Macs… like trucks! [edit] these "pull-able glue strips" are a big step back in the right direction, at least
- danieldk 8y agoThis is mostly due to the keyboard still being part of the chassis. And they mention having to remove the logic board to replace the battery as a downside.
