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.
-
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
