Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Apple Laptop Battery
iFixIt has completed its teardown (now with kittens!) of Apple's latest notebook - the MacBook Pro 13-inch with Retina Display. (That's a mouthful, so after its first mention, I'm going to refer to it as the rMBP13, ok?)
The rMBP13 was announced yesterday in a new-hardware-bonanza and is my current object of desire. I'm replacing my trusty MacBook Air 13 with one because of the better display and, as I noted yesterday, Apple shaved a full pound off the previous MBP13. At a svelte 3.57 pounds, the Retina model is only one half pound heavier than the 13-inch MacBook Air. More on that in a future post.
The teardown reveals that the rMBP13 has soldered RAM and a new battery like Apple A1057 Battery , Apple A1039 Battery , Apple M9326 Battery , Apple M8983 Battery , Apple M7621 Battery , Apple M6392 Battery , Apple iBook M2453 Battery , Apple M8665 Battery , Apple M9628 Battery , Apple M8956 Battery , Apple M9623 Battery , Apple M9422 Battery configuration. Perhaps the most intriguing change is that Apple moved the SSD to a location under the trackpad that's (suspiciously) large enough to hold a standard 2.5-inch HDD/SSD. Well, almost.
