@iFixit Oh! So Apple CAN let us repair their computers. Interesting.
@tubrofan211 @iFixit Do not get a head of yourself. First you need to become an Apple Cetrified Technicien. Us mere mortals are too incapable to work on Apple devices.
At the very least it is nice to see that manufacturers have been lying through their teeth about repairability.

@iFixit It sounds too good to be true. What's the "catch"?
Arguably, the catch is that the RAM caps at 8 GB, but that's due to the architecture of the device. (I wonder how much can it rely on swapfiles to compensate...) -

@Fenrasulfr @jbowen @tubrofan211 @iFixit You do know that they have had laptops with even hot-swappable batteries, special easy-access hatches for memory, easily replaceable hard drives with decent repair manuals, etc? It’s mostly their recent stuff that has been soldered down and glued.

@ahltorp @jbowen @tubrofan211 @iFixit Yes I know Apple and many other manufactures were perfectly repairable. It was also Apple that popularised non repairable designs.

The new MacBook Neo is the most repairable MacBook we’ve seen in 14 years. Screwed-in battery tray, modular ports, sensible layout, and day-one repair manuals. It’s not perfect, but it’s a real step forward for MacBook repair. Read the full breakdown at the link below.

@Fenrasulfr Laptops were not ”perfectly repairable” in the ’90s.

@ahltorp You get what I mean, compared to today, you could "easily" open up laptops and get repair parts for them. Some allowed you to upgrade components long befor Framework was a thing. So please stop being so pedantic.
