Key takeaways:
- packs two extra Thunderbolt ports, so you have twice as many places to plug in your dongles.
- the logic board is legit shaped like a moustache
- two speaker grilles—carefully crafted vents that channel sound waves out of the MacBook Pro straight to .... wait...The speakers are not located under the speaker grilles. The speaker grille doesn't even go clear through the case. These speakers likely blast their impressive sound through the side air vents.
- iFixIt broke the OLED panel while removing it so let's hope you never break outs.
- SSD & ram soldered to the main board, making upgrading it impossible
- Battery glued the fuck in, making replacing it nearly impossible (without potentially starting a huge li-on fire)
Can we just make my mid-2012 non-retina MBP with a retina display and new ram? Give me a old 1TB HDD and a CD drive. I'll do the rest.
