The MacBook Pro 13" with Two Thunderbolt Ports earns a 2 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):

The trackpad can be removed without disturbing the battery.

Proprietary pentalobe screws continue to be hostile to repair.

The battery assembly is still very solidly glued into the case, complicating replacement of a consumable.

Soldered-down RAM limits upgradability and longevity.

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.
