Disassembly of the new macbook air 13" notebook
Posted: July 22nd, 2011, 4:42 am[hr]July 21 brought us a bountiful harvest of Apple produce! Today, Apple released updates to the 11" and 13" MacBook Airs, as well as an updated Mac mini.
Although today is an exciting day for consumers, it is a sad day for consumer repair. Apple decided that the "svelte and sexy" MacBook Air would replace the "simple and serviceable" white plastic MacBook (for consumers at least-- the white plastic MacBook is still available for educational use). While this means that your book-bags will be significantly lighter, it will also mean that you won't be upgrading or servicing your computer anytime soon.
Join us today as we take a look inside this game-changing piece of equipment.

The chips in the red circle are memory ICs. They're soldered to the motherboard. You can't either replace or upgrade them.
