| + | [title] Final Thoughts |
|---|---|
| + | [* black] The MacBook Pro 15" with Touch Bar earns a ***1 out of 10*** on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair): |
| + | [* green] The trackpad is easy to access and straightforward to replace. |
| + | [* red] Use of proprietary pentalobe screws makes servicing and repair unnecessarily difficult. |
| + | [* red] The entire battery assembly is strongly glued into the case, complicating replacement. |
| + | [* red] The processor, RAM, ''and'' flash memory are soldered to the logic board. |
| + | [* red] The Touch Bar adds a second, difficult to replace, screen to damage. |
| + | [* red] The Touch ID sensor doubles as the power switch, and is paired with the T1 chip on the logic board. Fixing a broken power switch may require help from Apple, or a new logic board. |
