MacBook Pro Unibody 15" Early 2011 Repairability Score: 7 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair).

Easily removable bottom panel and readily accessible battery connector allow for easy repair of most components without touching the battery screws.

Unibody design allows for easy access of most components with minimal amounts of extra work needed to get to them.

Absurd amounts of pre-applied thermal paste may cause problems down the road.

Tri-wing screws limit the average person from replacing their own battery.

LCD replacement is still very tricky, which could easily result in shattering the front glass panel.
