It's a nice design choice since you need to disconnect the battery before performing any repairs. On this model, you're able to disconnect the battery without having to remove it from the laptop. Just like the previous revision, the battery is secured by Tri-Wing screws.Ī spudger makes disconnecting the battery easy enough. Has performance really decreased, or is Apple being more realistic with their estimates? We don't have 7 hours to wait and find out, so we'll have to leave that investigation to someone with a fully-assembled unit. That's the same capacity as the previous revision, but the reported battery life has gone from 8-9 hours to 7 hours. This machine boasts a 77.5 Watt-hour battery.

PC3-10600 RAM is backwards compatible with the PC3-8500 RAM in older MacBook Pro Unibody machines, but you can't use older PC3-8500 RAM in this machine. That's the same RAM used in the 2010 revision of the 21.5" and 27" iMacs, but different from earlier Apple laptops. The RAM in this machine is PC3-10600 RAM. However, like the machine this replaces, the battery is not user-replaceable (at least according to Apple). There are no pentalobe screws since Apple still considers the RAM and hard drive to be user-replaceable. The lower case is secured by ten Phillips #00 screws. These warnings were missing on the Verizon iPhone we took apart a few weeks ago. Apple still includes the warning to not throw your MacBook Pro in the trash. Apple's been using that same model number since October 2008. In comparison, FireWire supports up to 63 devices in a daisy-chain, while USB does not support daisy-chaining.
If the connection becomes widespread, the 6 device limit might be a problem for some people. That's not a problem today as we're not even aware of 6 products that support Thunderbolt yet. You can chain up to 6 Thunderbolt devices including up to 2 HD displays. That's nice, as you don't want your display competing with your external hard drive for bandwidth.
It appears that both PCI Express and DisplayPort receive their own 10 Gbps data channel. Thunderbolt claims to provide 10 Gbps throughput for both input and output. This machine includes Thunderbolt, a new I/O connection that combines PCI Express and DisplayPort into a single connector.
