It always looked good, but I’m honestly impressed how tetris-like their design has became. It truly feels like there’s no wasted volume in there. That being said, it’s all horrible from the repairability point of view.
- masklinn 3y agoApple is really inconsistent and more than a touch schizophrenic about this. The laptops get scores of 2~4 (the touchbar iterations were an amazing 1, you have to look for the Surface Laptop or an orange to get worse), meanwhile the iphone 14 debuted a new design which earned a 7.

I'm more optimistic than sudhirj. There is a longstanding trend in Apple, going back to the Apple II versus Macintosh 128K, of alternating between open and sealed designs. As just one of many, many examples: The iBook G3 (not the clamshell)? Very sealed. iBook G4? Quite open, despite its exterior having very few changes.
