Recently, Apple updated their entry-level MacBook Pro 13, iFixi demolished it yesterday, take a look at what this entry-level MBP 13 in the end is a simplified version of the more expensive model version of it, or a little change on the original mold .
They dismantling of this MBP 13, the new model A2159, uses a 13.3-inch Retina display, 2560x1600 resolution, support P3 color gamut.
First of all, there is no difference with the dismantling of the previous MBP, remove the screw and then use the card can be cut open. The internal components of the entry-level position is more like the old section of the MBP 13, but soon they found the old section of different places: a big battery. Compared with the old models, the new use of 58.2Wh battery pack, even more expensive than four Thunderblot interface 13-inch models also more than 0.2Wh. In the case of increasing the Touch Bar this small display and Touch ID sensor power consumption, nominal life time can maintain the level of ten hours, and this relationship should be a little more 3.7Wh battery.
Picture from iFixit, the same below
To accommodate as Touch ID sensor, the structure above the cooling fan changes obvious, heat pipes appeared shortened compared to the old, but the entry-MBP 13 are mounted TDP processor, 15W heat pressure changed little.
But unfortunately, in the older models or replaceable SSD, directly to the new curing on the motherboard, Apple finally put the last scalability to MBP foreclosed.
But more surprise is that Apple extended interface above uses a modular design, two Thunderbolt interface and 3.5mm headphone jack are used in this way, above the old models, they are leads directly to the motherboard, if you want to replace You will need to replace the entire motherboard.
Small also above board with headphone jack connector Touch ID. '
Then let's look at a variety of chips above board.
Red box is Intel i5-8257U processor with a significant nuclear Iris Plus 645 and eDRAM 128MB of. Orange Apple T2 frame is the coprocessor. Light blue: Inteld amount Thunderbolt 3 controller. The processor is the top two DRAM particles, as well as two back from Samsung, a total of 8GB.
Red box: two Toshiba's flash memory particles, a total of 128GB. Yellow Box: NXP 80V18 secure NFC module. Light blue box: Cirrus Logic CS42L83A audio codec.
Keyboard, the new MBP 13 and May using the updated models of MBP with butterfly keyboard, finally, to see family portrait.
