The MacBook Pro 13" with Touch Bar earns a 1 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 working on the device unnecessarily difficult.
-
The battery assembly is entirely, and very solidly, glued into the case, thus complicating replacement.
-
The processor, RAM, and flash memory are soldered to the logic board.
-
The Touch Bar adds a second, difficult to replace, screen to damage.
-
The Touch ID sensor doubles as the power switch, and is paired with the T1 chip on the logic board. Fixing a broken power switch may require help from Apple, or a new logic board.
