| + | [* black] Mac Pro Late 2013 Repairability Score: ***8 out of 10*** (10 is easiest to repair) |
|---|---|
| + | [* green] For being so compact, the design is surprisingly modular and easy to disassemble. Non-proprietary Torx screws are used throughout, and several components can be replaced indepdently. |
| + | [* green] The easily-opened case is designed to make RAM upgrades a snap. |
| + | [* green] Fan is easy to access and replace. |
| + | [* green] While it will require a bit of digging, the CPU is user replaceable, meaning the repair-intrepid will be able to save considerably by upgrading from the base-level processor configuration. |
| + | [* yellow] There is no room or available port for adding your own internal storage. Apple has addressed this with heaps of Thunderbolt, but we'd personally rather use SATA if we could. |
| + | [* red] With some proprietary new connectors and tight cable routing, working on this device without a repair manual will be tricky and risky, for a $3000 machine. |
