  • Thanks to our friends at MacRumors, we had a hunch that removing this battery might be less nightmarish than in some Retinas we know.

  • Sure enough, we find four screws and six friendly pull-to-remove adhesive strips securing this AirPower Air's power pack.

  • A sturdy frame, vaguely like those in Airs of old, supports the gaggle of battery cells and makes removal a snap.

  • Here it is: the 49.9 Wh power plant. In case you're keeping track, that's slightly smaller than Dell's new XPS 13 (52 Wh), but larger than Microsoft's Surface Laptop 2 (45.2 Wh) and HP's upcoming Spectre x360 (43.7 Wh).

  • All of these devices boast 10+ hour battery life, but the Air's competition manages to do so while also running faster, more power-intensive Intel U-series processors.

  • Two Toshiba TPCA8087 N-channel MOSFETs are found on the battery pack PCB.

Met dank aan onze vrienden bij MacRumors hadden we reeds een vermoeden dat het verwijderen van deze batterij een minder grote nachtmerrie zou zijn dan in sommige Retina's die we zijn tegengekomen.

Zonder twijfel stuiten we nog steeds op vier schroeven en zes vriendelijke kleefstrips met treklip die de power pack van deze Air bevestigen.

Een stevig frame, die vaag lijkt op die van de Air's van weleer, ondersteunt deze horde batterijcellen en zorgt ervoor dat het verwijderen in een fluitje van een cent gebeurt.

Hier issie dan: de 49.9 Wh sterke energiecentrale. Voor degenen die het bijhouden is dat ietwat minder dan de nieuwe XPS 13 van Dell (52 Wh), maar groter dan Microsoft's Surface-laptop 2 (45.2 Wh) en HP's aankomende Spectre x360 (43.7 Wh).

Al deze batterijen overleggen een meer dan 10 uur durende batterijleven, maar de uitdagers van de Air krijgen dat wel voor elkaar terwijl ze ook nog eens snellere, stroom-intensievere Intel U-series processors aandrijven.
