Engadget Logo Enter Japan version of IFIXIT, complete decomposition report on the new 16 -inch MacBook Pro.Fans are larger than the predecessor

A familiar repair company IFIXIT has released a full version of the video that breaks down the new 16 -inch MacBook Pro.In the early video I mentioned the other day, it was surprising that the design was easy to replace the battery, but the detailed internal design was revealed.

As mentioned in the previous article, it is easier to open the housing because the battery is no longer fixed with adhesive in the new model.The battery has a pull tab with an adhesive (pulling out), making it easier to replace.

Nevertheless, there is a speaker near the battery, and the two main battery cell pull tabs cannot be approached without removing the trackpad, so it seems that repair is "better than before".

If you step inside, the cooling fans are larger than the predecessor model, and there is also a space for the enhanced speaker system as the housing has become thicker.Also 99.The built -in battery of 6WH is slightly smaller than the previous model, but both M1 Pro and M1 MAX chips have improved power saving performance, so the battery drive time has been greatly improved (in the case of 16 inches.The playback is improved from 11 hours to 21 hours of the previous model).

In addition, the display cable (connecting the logic board with the screen) was renewed, and the length of the screen was opened and closed.This seems to prevent the problem of "FlexGate" that has occurred in the past model (which hinders the screen display by wearing the cable).

In addition, three USB-C ports, Magsafe charging port and headphone jacks are modularized (mechanisms that make it easier to replace small parts as a unity), making it easier to repair.On the other hand, the HDMI port and the SD card slot are sold directly on the logic board, and the RAM and storage are integrated (like the M1 chip), so that users cannot be replaced.

IFIXIT's annual repair score is 4 out of 10 points.The reason is that the pentalobe screw (a special pentagonal star -shaped head screw) is used, it is difficult to remove the top cover, and there are places where parts are not functioning by replacing parts such as fingerprint sensors and displays.It is listed.

In addition, IFIXIT has announced that it is very similar to a 16 -inch model, with a complete disassembly article on the 14 -inch MacBook Pro.I want to wait for the public.
