Special care needs to be taken with metallic screwdrivers not to damage the speakers whose strong magnets tend to attract the screwdriver all the time you’re near them.

as for message you can find it almost on any mac aluminium chassey. these are drilling bit calibration marks / identification of the machine.

It's most likely something boring. Probably a code that was made by the machine that milled the chassis as a way of marking what assembly line or specific machine it was made on.

Whats the translation

What an awesome idea it is for you to start laptop teardowns. I think even more important would be laptop durability tests. Every laptop reviewer usually tests some things durability, but there is just so much that isn't covered and this channel could serve so well! We have things such as keyboard deck flex, poor key stability, trackpad clicking from the bottom due to poor rigidity, screen wobbling due to poor hinges, plastic bottoms with aluminum tops, carbon fiber interiors, little flimsy covers over some port openings, and just a ton more stuff that I can't even think of at the moment. I know a laptop doesn't take as much abuse as a phone, but it is a mobile product and durability is quite important. Zack, is that something you might consider going forward? (Samsung's been getting away with poor laptop build quality for far too long now :) -- An example is this -- we all think Razer can get away with its high prices due to the build quality, which some say is equivalent to that of a MacBook. Well, I hear that but never actually SEE build quality being tested. I know it's an expensive proposition to durability test such expensive devices, but if it's something you might be able to swing, I think it would be so helpful to the audience.

So soothing to listen to this guy! Oh the braille looking thing, if the dots are recessed, it probably should be read from the other side. So, you could actually be looking at the mirror image.

Awesome review!

To answer your question, Zac - Apple has been doing the sombrero hat trick since at least 2016 revs. I just replaced the battery on my 2017 MBP and it's the same there, too. In fact it's surprising how similar the layout is to the new M1/M2s. It wasn't that way on the previous versions, likely because the PMU had the original magsafe (v. I & II) on a seperate PMU board and not integrated via USB-C/TB ports.

I'm half interested in one of these, but I can't get over the soldered SSD. Having no option to change storage due to failure or space requirements is really dumb. It's not like their storage even outperforms high-end M.2's anyway. I can sort of understand the RAM being soldered right next to the CPU/APU, that does give some significant speed and latency benefits. Like all laptops I buy, I get it spec'd with the lowest RAM/SSD I can and upgrade myself. Silly to pay the 100%+ markup for something so simple.

@paulbade3566

IF you have the equipment and skill to solder BGA chips, an EEPROM programmer, and another Mac with software to initialize the SSD chips and rewrite the serial number, you can upgrade the SSD. Upgrading RAM can probably be done without messing around with the firmware, but again you have to be able to rework BGA packages.
