@gruber re: your post on the Neo teardown showing easy disassembly and repairability, contrast that to Charlie Sorrel’s premature, preachy and inaccurate (later corrected) March 6th iFixit post about ‘How Apple Used to Design Its Laptops for Repairability’

https://www.ifixit.com/News/115995/how-apple-used-to-design-its-laptops-for-repairability

iFixit always seemed to want to be the first out the gate with teardowns but they still don't have anything to say about the Neo.

Maybe not having something to complain about hurts their business.

Macbook Neo Shows how far Apple’s repairability design has fallen

Apple’s laptops used to be designed for repairability, and it showed. The solutions were smart, fun, and sometimes beautiful.

Ugly, dirty Microsoft Surface keyboards: Why high-tech computers and low-tech fabrics don’t mix

Microsoft Surface keyboards covered with Alcantara and polymers are an example of a poor design choice due to their durability and cleaning issues, which result in thousands upon thousands of non-recyclable, worn-out keyboards entering landfills each year.

Kinda wild Apple will kick ICEBlock out of the App Store on safety grounds but the Saudi government app that lets men track women (their “property”) and control their travel is fully allowed even after the Human Rights Watch AND members of the Senate begged them to ban it.
