Mit konkreten Zahlen rückt #Apple zwar nicht heraus, allerdings meldet #TimCook, dass der Mac seine „bisher erfolgreichste Einführungswoche“ hinter sich hat. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf neuer Kundschaft, die sich erstmals für einen Mac entschieden hat. Apples Plan geht auf: Ein günstiges #MacBook zieht neue Nutzer und Nutzerinnen an, die anschließend weitere Produkte und Services von Apple nutzen.

Apple’s Most Repairable Laptop is Thanks to Right-to-Repair

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://hackaday.com/2026/03/28/apples-most-repairable-laptop-is-thanks-to-right-to-repair/

Just finished disassembling a late-Intel-era Macbook Pro to remove the spicy pillows from it, and I gotta say, I am not impressed with Apple's hardware engineering on it.

I'm not talking about them gluing the cells of the battery to the case - that's been discussed to death, and was unnecessary. I'm talking about some other rather bad choices made during design.

Specifically: fasteners. In general, you want the fewest different types of threaded fasteners possible in your design. Fewer parts to keep in stock, fewer possible mistakes when assembling and disassembling units, etc. And Apple utterly failed this design rule.

It's like each separate part in this machine is held in with 3 different fasteners. Sometimes that's unavoidable in a design; you're using machine screw #1 for most things, but there's one that has to go into this particular place where it can't be as deep/long or there isn't room for the same head or something. But in this case, most of the fasteners are different for no very good reason. There's room for them to have used a common screw for many of the cases where they just ... didn't.

Paying the Apple tax for this kind of janky design (and user-hostile repairability) is just insulting.

"Designed badly in California, manufactured in China".
