Cupertino-based Apple recently launched its MacBook Neo laptop, starting at a price of Rs 69,900. This device caters to youngsters and users looking for an affordable Apple laptop. Now, a fresh report circulating online has highlighted that this device has become the most repairable Apple laptop over the past decade. This device features the A18 Pro chipset, which powers the iPhone 16 Pro.
Here’s What iFixit Report Says About The MacBook Neo
According to a teardown report from iFixit, the Apple MacBook Neo is easy to repair, and its parts can be replaced. It scored a 6 out of 10 in iFixit’s repairability test. Published on Friday, the report notes that the Tim Coo-led company made a couple of design changes that make this laptop easier to repair than the previous models.
Moreover, the report found that Apple has used screws in most places instead of glue to attach parts, such as the battery and keyboard. It adds that the simple design has made it easier to replace the internal components of MacBook Neo. Reportedly, camera and fingerprint sensors are now easier to swap out than in the previous Apple laptops.
The analysis reads, “Parts pairing problems with OEM parts, though, Apple seems to have solved. Good riddance!” In terms of the battery, the report noted, “The battery sits on a tray and comes out with screws. Eighteen of them, to be exact. That’s a lot, but screws still beat adhesive every time.”
