Under The Hood: 17-Inch Macbook Pro

17mbpuni

Goddamn would you look at the size of this thing. Two gigantic fans that look like they belong on the latest GeForce card and a battery that can be used to fend off potential attackers. iFixIt, a company that regularly goes inside brand new Macs to get a closer look at them, cracked open a brand-spankin’ new 17-inch unibody Macbook Pro. You know, the one you can’t remove the battery from.

Well apparently, you can remove the battery. It’s just going to require a lot of effort and void your warranty – as if you didn’t see that one coming. iFixIt says it’ll sell replacement batteries for the Macbook Pro, which is good to know considering Apple wants to charge you $180 to install and replace your old one.
