The New MacBook Pro Is The Most Repair Unfriendly MacBook Yet

We took apart the new 15" Retina MacBook Pro with the hopes that Apple made it more repair-friendly than the debut Mid 2012 model. Unfortunately, things didn't really work out in our favor; in fact, they took a turn for the (slightly) worse.


Even the headphone jack is now soldered to the logic board, which is definitely a component that can wear out over time. Users don't have to be malicious or aggressive when using the port — cyclical stress can cause it to fail either way.


For those of us who care about repair, do note that this is now your only 15" option; Apple stopped selling the non-Retina 15" MacBook Pro.
