New MacBook Gets Taken Apart Already

Posted October 21, 2009 at 10:45am by iClarified
iFixit has already taken apart the new Polycarbonate Unibody MacBook released yesterday.

Some points of interest:
- FireWire is gone! If you need FireWire, now only a MacBook Pro will do.
- Also gone is an IR port for a remote. As far as we know, that makes the MacBook the only currently shipping Apple laptop that doesn't support a remote.
- There's also no external battery indicator, a feature borrowed from the MacBook Air.
- Apple has also replaced Mini-DVI with Mini DisplayPort, and replaced the two audio jacks with a single audio in/out port.

The teardown photos have been compiled into a slideshow you can see below...
