MacBook Pro 2021 are entitled to a new battery change system.For the rest, we have already seen better.

As often in the apple brand, disassembly of products is a ordeal.The new MacBook Pro make tradition continue.

Real efforts for the battery

This is the big positive point on dismantling new MacBook Pro 2021 equipped with M1 Pro and M1 Max chips: the batteries are easy to remove and change.To put it simply, you should know that these are equipped with tabs on the battery blocks, as on iPhone, allowing everyone to remove them without difficulty and therefore replace them.This allows, you will understand, to avoid paying hundreds of euros in the replacement workforce.If your MacBook Pro 2021 is starting to weaken autonomy level in a few years, you can take care of it yourself.

In the same vein, it is interesting to know that the ports of these MacBook are modular.It will be difficult to replace them at home, but their design makes it possible not to change the entire motherboard and accessories stuck to the latter.It therefore appears that the ports, whether it be the Magsafe as HDMI, are "very simple" to desouder and change.

For the rest, it's more complicated

But if you need to change the keyboard, for example, the task will be more difficult.As on the macbook with the Touchbar fire, access to the interior of the machine requires the removal of "pentalobe" screws and clips, making the process complex without the intervention of a personnel authorized by Apple.What is more, the keyboard is always integrated into the monocoque chassis of the MacBook, therefore considerably increasing the risk of dismantling failure.

All this therefore makes any breakdown, excluding battery and ports, catastrophic for buyers of new MacBook Pro 2021.Without Apple's insurance, the slightest repair could cost very expensive, as always.
