  • Removing the trackpad requires as little effort as it did with other two 2016 MBP models—we simply spin out thirteen T5 screws and the trackpad is ours.

  • And this one is a monster, nearly holding its own beside an iPad mini 2.

  • Now we know which trackpad in the family has been taking its vitamins.

  • We're not surprised to find the same ICs on this trackpad as we did in both 13" MBPs. However, with the increased size, Apple had to add a second touch controller to digitize all that extra trackpad:

  • STMicroelectronics STM32F103VB ARM Cortex-M3 MCU

  • Broadcom BCM5976C1KUFBG Touch Controller x2

  • Maxim Integrated MAX11291ENX 24-Bit, 6-Channel Delta-Sigma ADC

  • Monolithic Power Systems MP24830 white LED driver
