[* black] The MacBook Pro 13" with Two Thunderbolt Ports earns a ***2 out of 10*** on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):
[* green] The trackpad can be removed without disturbing the battery.
[* red] Proprietary pentalobe screws continue to be hostile to repair.
[* red] The battery assembly is still very solidly glued into the case, complicating replacement of a consumable.
- [* red] The RAM is still soldered to the logic board, limiting upgradability.
- [* red] The SSD is no longer replaceable, but as it was previously a proprietary drive, the newly soldered storage has about the same effect for the average fixer.
+ [* red] Soldered-down RAM limits upgradability and longevity.
