Final Thoughts
-
The MacBook Pro 13" with Function Keys earns a 2 out of 10 on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):
-
The trackpad can be removed without first removing the battery.
-
Proprietary pentalobe screws continue to make opening the device unnecessarily difficult.
-
The battery assembly is entirely, and very solidly, glued into the case, thus complicating replacement.
-
The RAM is soldered to the logic board. Pay for the upgrade now, or be stuck with 8 GB forever. There is no chance of upgrade.
-
The proprietary PCIe SSD still isn't a standard drive. Cross your fingers for future compatible drives; for now, you're stuck with what you've got.
