Final Thoughts
-
The 2018 MacBook Pro 13" with Touch Bar earns a 1 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is easiest to repair):
-
The trackpad can be removed without first removing the battery.
-
The processor, RAM, and flash memory are soldered to the logic board. Repairs and upgrades will be impractical at best.
-
The top case assembly, which includes the keyboard, battery, and speakers, is glued together—making all those components impractical to replace separately.
-
The Touch ID sensor doubles as the power switch, and is paired with the T2 chip on the logic board. Fixing a broken power switch may require help from Apple, or a new logic board.
