That was fast, iFixit. As usual when a new Apple product comes out, these have taken a look at what’s inside the new beast from Cupertino, and here some interesting notes:
Apple apparently doesn’t want you inside this thing. They decided to use 5-point Security Torx to attach the lower case.
This battery is 35 watt-hours. Previous revisions of 13” MacBook Air machines have included 37 or 40 watt-hour battery packs. Since this Air has a smaller screen and lacks a spinning hard drive, we’d expect run time to be somewhat better than earlier Airs.
Although in a different form factor, the new MacBook Air uses the same Broadcom Wi-Fi/Bluetooth chip as the current lineup of MacBook Pros.
