MacBook's "Unremovable" Battery Easy To Remove

Posted by timothy on from the just-unscrew-16-handy-screws dept.

Slatterz writes "Going just a bit further than your average unboxing, someone has stripped a new 17-inch Apple Macbook Pro to its component parts revealing one or two little surprises. The biggest of which is that the built-in battery is easily accessible, requiring the tinkerer to remove just the 13 Philips screws which hold the bottom cover in place, and the three tri-wing security screws which hold the battery in place."

    I didn't even know that Apple made the battery "non-removable" by ordinary users. Why would they even think to do that?

    Yet another reason I don't 'use Apple products.
