We'll be digging into performance and battery life more extensively in our reviews of these laptops, which should be done next week. The Pro loses extra points for fusing the display glass to the LCD panel and for gluing the battery into the case. iFixit criticizes the use of proprietary screws, soldered RAM, and proprietary SSD connectors in both laptops. IFixit's teardowns are a good way to see what's inside these laptops without having to sacrifice one of your own, but the publication has typically harsh words for Apple about its systems' lack of repairability and expandability. The MacBook Air's repairability score is four out of 10, while the Retina MacBook Pro's is one out of 10-these are the same scores given to the 2013 models. That's still very good, particularly for the price, but it's a rare aspect in which the 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Airs are different from one another. Remember that Apple's smaller laptops-the 11-inch MacBook Air and the new Retina MacBook-still use two PCIe 2.0 lanes, limiting them to roughly the same storage speeds as the 2013 Macs. Jumping from the standard 128GB SATA drive in Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Carbon to its 512GB PCIe drive (the only PCIe option offered) costs an extra $700 Apple ships PCIe-equipped laptops starting at $900.

Even now, few PC makers are shipping machines with PCI Express storage rather than SATA, and the ones who are charge a huge premium. Storage speed is one area where Apple is still firmly ahead of the curve.

That first wave of PCIe Macs used two PCI Express 2.0 lanes to ferry data to and from the drive the new Retina MacBook Pro and 13-inch MacBook Air bump this to four lanes (while the controller on the drive supports PCIe 3.0, the chipset only supports PCIe 2.0, and the System Information screens confirm a PCIe 2.0 link speed of 5 gigatransfers per second). Beginning in its 2013 Macs, Apple began using PCI Express for its solid-state storage rather than the more common but slower SATA III. IFixit's teardowns of both the MacBook Pro and the new MacBook Air also show how Apple is achieving the doubled storage speeds it bragged about onstage Monday. Systems with the Force Touch trackpad also include a new "Force Touch" feature that provides extra context-sensitive information when you hover over information (a name, a place, or a date, for instance) and hold your finger down on the trackpad.
#2015 MACBOOK PRO 13 SSD SOFTWARE#
In both the Retina MacBook Pro and the new MacBook, Apple provides some software controls to adjust the amount of haptic feedback-at the "firm" setting, the Force Touch trackpad comes reasonably close to the physical feel of a traditional trackpad.
#2015 MACBOOK PRO 13 SSD ANDROID#
According to iFixit, the trackpad combines four "springy mounts" with Apple's "taptic engine." These components create haptic vibrations that recreate the sensation of physical movement without actually requiring moving components (if you've ever typed on an Android phone or tablet that has haptic feedback enabled, you'll have some sense of what this feels like).Ĭarving the trackpad's components apart with an X-Acto knife reveals four copper coils that serve as electromagnets, which "rapidly push and pull against a metal rail mounted beneath the trackpad, to create a tiny 'buzz' of feedback with each click." Four strain gauges work together to detect how much force you're applying to the trackpad when you click it. The new trackpad doesn't actually "click" the way that the trackpads in the Airs and older Pros do to save space in the new MacBook design, Apple created a trackpad that doesn't physically move. Neither laptop has been redesigned, but the Retina MacBook Pro picks up the new Force Touch trackpad that Apple created for the Retina MacBook. We've got these laptops in for review now, but in the meantime, looking at iFixit's teardowns of both machines is a good way to learn more about them. If the new Retina MacBook's port situation makes you upset, never fear-Apple released new MacBook Airs and a new Retina MacBook Pro on Monday, too.
