"While it will require a bit of digging, the CPU is user-replaceable"
- even a non-proprietary component is difficult to replace
"There is no room, or available port, for adding your own internal storage."
- storage is never enough & yet it ain't upgradeable!
"Apple has addressed this with heaps of Thunderbolt, but we'd personally rather use the more widely compatible SATA ..."
- internal storage not addressed cos Thunderbot is external storage!
- SATA's the idiot proof choice
"With some proprietary new connectors and tight cable routing, working on this $3,000 device without a repair manual could be risky."
- repair manual needed? WTF!
How can anything be considered repairable when proprietary parts of any sort are needed? How can one repair anything without parts?
This should have been at most a 1 or 2 out of 10.
I thought iFixit was the most important thing in recent years to rein manufacturers in. Apparently its caved to and slave to Apple's marketing pressure too!
Cos you're a retard who doesn't know the purpose of the website you are visiting. iFixit is for the people who understand that there will come a time when you have to change the battery - typically after 1 year of daily charging.
So much for your glued crap that has to be thrown away when everybody else just opens it up to change a $30 battery.
How does this thing get an 8/10?
