Apple has issued an emergency recall for the new Neo laptop after discovering a critical design flaw: it’s repairable.
Internal testing revealed the device contains replaceable parts and a battery that comes out without adhesive. Unacceptable for their standards.

The new MacBook Neo is the most repairable MacBook we’ve seen in 14 years. Screwed-in battery tray, modular ports, sensible layout, and day-one repair manuals. It’s not perfect, but it’s a real step forward for MacBook repair. Read the full breakdown at the link below.

My daily driver for nearly 10 years, this MacBook Pro from 2015 has a swollen battery.
This repair was much easier. Only four components to remove before getting to the battery, which went straight to the hazardous waste drop-off.
Again, thanks to @iFixit@mastodon.social for parts and an excellent guide. Who knows, maybe I’ll get another ten years out of it.

RT @iFixit@x.com: BMW’s latest “innovation” isn’t about performance or safety. It’s a logo-shaped screw designed to keep owners out of their own cars. We dug into the patent, the intent behind it, and why @adafruit@x.com is already working on a custom bit to undo BMW’s attempt to block repair. Learn more at the link below.
