MacBook Internal Photos

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the fruit-basket dept.

kwiens writes "We just took apart a MacBook and posted some disassembly instructions and hi-res logic board photos. It looks like Apple's saving a bunch of R&D by using stock Intel chips in the MacBook Pro. Interestingly, the built-in iSight and Bluetooth connectors are USB 2.0. Apple also downgraded some features from the Powerbook: half the DVD-R write speed and no Firewire 800."

    You can get right click functionality by placing two fingers on the trackpad and then pushing the button.

    Or at least this works if you are using iScroll. I don't know if the usual scrolling trackpad prefs have this option or not.

    How about just holding down the mouse button for a little longer than normal? That produces a right click....

  3. USB == higher batter drain by soboroff · · Score: 2, Informative


    Note that by having internal components connected to USB, they have a higher battery drain (simply because of how USB works) than they would if connected some other way. You can save battery by shutting down the iSight and bluetooth when you're not using them.
