We believe this change was made for thermal reasons, as a pink thermal pad is visible and used to transfer heat from the Broadcom chip to the aluminum bracket.

The wireless card bracket is aluminum, rather than the plastic found in earlier MacBook Pro revisions.

Wireless connectivity is provided by a Broadcom BCM4331 “wireless solution.”

The wireless card received a make-over and now includes four antennas instead of three.

That’s the same RAM used in the 2010 revision of the 21.5″ and 27″ iMacs, but faster than earlier MacBook Pros. They’re not huge issues, but they’re not fitting for an $1800 machine. We found a stripped screw holding the subwoofer enclosure in place, and an unlocked ZIF socket connecting the IR sensor.

We’re a tad concerned about Apple’s quality control.

Either Apple’s being more realistic with their battery testing, or the new quad-core i7 is more power-hungry than its predecessor.

This machine boasts the same 77.5 watt-hour battery as the earlier model, but Apple has decreased their run-time estimate from 8-9 hours to 7 hours.

Apple still considers the battery to be not user-replaceable, and we still disagree.

Thankfully there were no pesky Pentalobe screws inside or outside. The lower case is secured by Phillips #00 screws, while the battery is secured by Tri-Wing screws - just like the predecessor.In comparison, FireWire supports 63 devices and USB supports up to 127 devices. But if the connection becomes widespread, the six device limit might be a problem for some people. That’s not a problem today as we’re not even aware of six products that support Thunderbolt yet. You can chain up to six Thunderbolt devices.The only tricky repair is LCD replacement, which could easily result in shattering the front glass panel. The unibody design also allows for easy access to most of the other components, so it won’t be terribly hard to replace things on the machine. It’s a nice design choice since you *should* remove all power before performing any repairs. This revision allows you to disconnect the battery without removing it from the laptop. The MacBook Pro earned a very respectable 7 out of 10 repairability score.

We’ll have to wait until a company like Chipworks places an SEM on the puppy to see what’s *really* inside, but we believe the chip’s footprint is a testament to the potential of this port. The IC is quite prominent on the logic board, being the fourth-largest chip after the CPU, GPU, and logic board controller. The Thunderbolt port (we keep wanting to type “Thunderport”-it just feels so natural) has its own controller IC. We were super-excited to try out the port itself, but had to first peek at it from the inside. We will be more than happy to assist you.The Thunderbolt port-or the “Thunderport,” as we started calling it around iFixit-is the latest evolutionary change from the folks at 1 Infinite Loop.
