Apple’s latest MacBook Neo is not only the least expensive MacBook yet — it also ranks as the most repairable MacBook in “approximately fourteen years,” based on a thorough teardown by the how-to site iFixit.

According to iFixit, the “key highlight” is the battery. While previous MacBook batteries were allegedly glued in, the Neo’s battery is located in a tray fastened with 18 screws. Although this is a considerable number of screws, iFixit stated that “screws always outperform adhesive.” This new setup — which should facilitate battery replacement for users — “elicited cheers throughout the iFixit workspace.”

Additional modifications that supposedly enhance the repairability of the MacBook Neo include a straightforward disassembly tree, the Repair Assistant’s acceptance of replacement components without issues, and a display and keyboard that are simpler to replace.

In the end, iFixit had enough reservations — such as soldered RAM and storage — to assign the Neo a repairability rating of 6 out of 10. They noted that for a MacBook, “this is a solid score.”

In 2012, Apple revealed a redesign of its MacBook line featuring the new Retina Display MacBook Pro. This redesign marked a shift towards handling repairs internally or through Apple-endorsed shops, sacrificing much of the DIY repairability offered by previous versions. Many components in the new MacBooks, such as memory cards and batteries, were glued down; iFixit rated that model a 1 out of 10 for repairability.

Since that time, Apple has been criticized for its opposition to certain right to repair legislation in various states and for creating what are referred to as parts-pairing barriers, which restricted or prevented devices from functioning with non-manufacturer components. Legislative changes that permitted individuals to repair gadgets in states like Oregon prompted the company to ease limitations on repairing iPhones with older components.

The new MacBook Neo still has soldered memory and storage, complicating upgrades. “However, the parts that typically fail first are more accessible than they have been in many years on a MacBook,” iFixit remarked. “The battery is secured with screws rather than glue. The ports are modular. The display is easier to replace. The internal layout is surprisingly logical.”
