The new MacBook Neo is the most repairable MacBook we’ve seen in 14 years.

#Framework creating ripples that even make Apple move? Cool.

@iFixit my goodness, is it opposite day??!!

@Fenrasulfr I've worked 35 years on and with laptops, and repairability has fluctuated both for Apple and non-Apple laptops. Early laptops were known for being easy to take apart and very difficult to put together.

Quite recently I tried to rescue data from a PC laptop hard drive, which I managed to get out, but only to find that the interface was not compatible with anything.

Apple needs to be bashed for a lot of things, but here I don't think they've been any worse than the others.

@ahltorp I do not think they are the worst either, but they were definitely the once that popularised the modern laptop.
I honnestly think the worst are the companies that make 200 euro throw away laptops to scam unknowing people with.

@Infoseepage @iFixit No fan? How do they keep the temperature down?

[infoseepage@mastodon.social]

@enriquericos @iFixit It's a cell phone system of a chip, same one as in last but one Iphones. Iphones don't have fans either, do they? I'm not sure if they're clocking the Neo faster and they've obviously got much more space to work with in the Neo in terms of adding heat sinks/heat spreaders. I'd love to see what this thing looks like in terms of thermal throttling under sustained heavy load.

[enriquericos@mastoart.social]

@Infoseepage @iFixit Well, that explains a lot. But I still wonder if it'll become a stove under heavy usage. I'll watch iFixit's vid 🙂

Oh, look they put an iphone 16 in a laptop case.

@iFixit
Thinking about how one of the ports in my non-Mac laptop is filled with a rubber plug because the plastic bit broke out and it's a part of the motherboard, so it can't be replaced. :/

@iFixit apple felt the stocks lol

@Ambulocetus @iFixit the “catch” is that “most repairable MacBook” is not very repairable - 6 out of 10 on their own scale, according to another post about it - https://wandering.shop/@xgranade/116247073087510880

@iFixit Did Apple outsource the Neo to Framework to build? ;)
