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."

    They only took the cover off. If they had compeltely disassembled the main board, reassembled it (without having parts left over) and then booted it first time I would be impressed. Does anyone knnow if its even possible to do this? I get the impression that with surfacemount technology it would be like threading elephants thru the eys of needles putting it back together again.
