PowerBook 15" and 12" Disassembly

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the violating-your-warranty dept.

questamor writes "The ever gadget-driven among us are at it again, with a Japanese site disassembling a brand new 15" PowerBook. Of interest is dual blowers. Quite a good deal packed into that sleek Al case. An older photo article on the same site details a 12" takeapart. That's stunning for barely an inch thick. Kudos to Apple's designers for a machine that looks as well designed in as out, and to the guys willing to unscrew the screws on a machine barely 5 days into warranty."

    I'm still waiting for images of a Powerbook G5 being run over by a truck. I'll be *really* impressed to the people with the guts to do that... taking the screws out is nothing. Any volunteers?

    Mac zealots' satisfaction and happiness is directly proportional to the amount of money lining Steve Jobs' pockets...

    I'm happy I got a powerbook

    The only shit I could do with the Compaq is put Windows, Linux or BSD on. Why would I bother with crap that's a pain in the arse to use 8 hours a day when I have OSX?

    Sometimes, software is worth it. OSX is that software.
