MacBook disassembled
Kodawarisan has posted disassembly photos of the new MacBook. The new NVIDIA GeForce 9400M GPU can be seen on the logic board, along with the Intel Core 2 Duo processor. The battery door can be removed, without using a coin, by pressing the latch with a finger, which reduces the possibility of scratching the aluminum. The hard drive is also accessible beside the battery, but is retained by a T6-Torx screw. The logic board, SuperDrive, and memory are now covered by a second panel on the bottom of the device, eliminating the need to pull the keyboard panel.

to service. They should have good turnaround time. This design is so simple it will be astounding if anything can go wrong. RAM and harddrive are right at one's fingertips. No $400 Windows notebook is going to be compared equally with this. I realize you can buy three Acers for the price of one MacBook, but I'll still go for the MacBook.
