- droob 14y agoI'll take a lighter, cooler laptop over a "hackable" one any day, if that's the tradeoff. You notice things like weight, fan noise, and heat every day, but it's easy to get hung up on the idea that someday you might need to swap hard drives maybe. Maybe I'm just lucky or gentle, but I got nine years of life out of my TiBook and couldn't be happier with the Air that replaced it.
- Void_ 14y agoI'm not a fan of the new MacBook, but this article is stupid. Too much exaggeration, even changing facts.
- realize 14y agoIt is worth pointing out that this guy is biased. His business, iFixit, is based on third party repairs. If this trend towards un-repairability continues it will threaten his business. For the rest of us, who cares if third parties can't repair our MacBooks, just take them to Apple. I'd rather have thinner and more integrated hardware.
