iFixit’s Latest Macbook Teardown

That didn’t take long. The guys over at iFixit have already torn apart the new Macbook, with some interesting results revealing a slightly larger battery:

“The battery looks very similar to the previous one. So similar, in fact, that it’s identical in size and shape, and has the same model number (A1331).

The battery in the A1342 Mid 2010 is 65 watt-hours and weighs 355 grams.

In contrast, the earlier A1342 has a battery of 60 watt-hours and weighs 347.5 grams.”


Check out the photos of the teardown after the break.
