Introduction
Lors de la keynote du 9 mars 2015, Apple nous a ébloui avec quatre nouveaux MacBook. Comme toujours, nous avons dû mettre la main sur le MacBook Pro revisité.
Vu de l'extérieur, le MacBook Pro 13" Retina début 2015 ressemble beaucoup à son grand frère, et inclut le même écran Retina et la même construction monocoque en aluminium. Cependant, le tout nouveau trackpad Touch Force et les derniers processeurs Broadwell-U d'Intel promettent une bête entièrement mise à neuf. Rejoignez-nous et plongeons ensemble dans les entrailles de l'animal !

Vidéo d'introduction
-
-
Voici le nouveau Retina ! Il rappelle pas mal l'ordinateur portable professionnel 13 pouces d'Apple, mais quelque chose a changé. Hoooo quel trackpad !
-
Voyons un peu les prouesses techniques que cette boîte magique récèle :
-
Écran Retina de 13,3 pouces, 2560 sur 1600 pixels (227 ppp)
-
Processeur dual-core i5 Intel Core de 2,7 ou 2,9 GHz (processeur dual-core i7 Intel Core de 3,1 GHz disponible en option)
-
8 Go ou 16 Go de mémoire intégrée LPDDR3 1866 MHz
-
Stockage flash de 128 Go, 256 Go, 6512 Go ou 1 To
-
Intel Iris Graphics 6100
-
Thunderbolt 2, USB 3.0 et HDMI E/S grand format
-
-
-
Un coup d'œil sur l'envers ne révèle aucune surprise – la machine porte le même numéro A1502 que le MacBook Pro fin 2013.
-
Voyons un peu les ports :
-
Ce MacBook est équipé sur la droite d'une fente pour carte SDXC, d'un port HDMI et d'un port USB 3.0.
-
À gauche (à gauche), voici un port MagSafe 2, deux ports Thunderbolt 2, un autre port USB 3.0, une prise jack et des doubles microphones (plus tout ce qui nous appartient, à l'intérieur d'une boîte).
-
-
-
Que la révélation commence. Roulez tambours !
-
On dirait que ce MacBook Pro a hérité du même gène que son prédécesseur en ce qui concerne le ventilateur unique … et d'autres choses.
-
Nous allons devoir creuser un peu pour savoir le fin mot de l'histoire.
-
-
-
Apple nous ferait-il un clin d'œil ? Le texte d'avertissement sur la batterie que nous avions encore vu lors de la vue éclatée du MacBook Pro 13" Retina fin 2013 (au milieu) a disparu. Parfait alors, allons-y !
-
Le voile sur le secret du trackpad Force Touch se lève couche par couche. Tout d'abord, nous enlevons la nappe.
-
Apple a prodigué des conseils au sujet du trackpad : "Appuyez plus fort, insistez." Pas de souci Apple, si vous le dites !
This trackpad cable is proving to be the last straw for me. Not a month off warranty, the keyboard and trackpad on my MBP stopped responding and replacing this poorly-located cable was the only fix. Three months later, I'm having the same problem, albeit intermittently, and I'm probably going to have to replace it yet again. It's not acceptable that this fancy product is sold as a pro-level machine. Frankly, Apple's new engineering ethos is an embarrassment and an insult to the industry, and yet when I look into the competition, I see much the same: fancy products designed to last just beyond the standard warranty. And don't get me started on port adapters. Such a shame.
To any of you possibly reading this and in any way invested in this cable issue, I did indeed replace the cable back in August (2016) and the machine worked properly until this last week of December (2016) when the problem returned. I'll either have to replace it yet again or move on to a new machine.
Thanks for providing me another incidence of this cable being the culprit in what seems to be a frequently reported bug on this particular model of the MacBook pro.
Hi mapercortesia - can you please let https://appelissues.net/ know about the issue and please cite this compendium that is collecting as much information about the issue: http://a1502-2015-macbook-pro-13-trackpa...
I'm having the same intermittent trackpad and keyboard issue for the last few weeks. I've narrowed it down to the cable based on feedback from people like yourself and would love to know where you procured your replacement cable from (and the part number if you happen to know it).
Hello! I ordered the IPD Trackpad Flex Cable (Item CMP-5726-UTW0) from Command Mac Parts.
Last update for anyone affected by this issue: this is fundamentally a design flaw. Temperature fluctuations cause the extremely small points of contact between each end of the cable and its respective connector to disengage. Unless the cable itself is truly kaput, reseating it often resolves the problem, but only temporarily. Allowing the machine to adjust to room temperature (after carrying it around outside in colder weather, for example) may also get the keyboard and trackpad working again. Tapping on the case beneath the spacebar, at the base of the trackpad or underneath the trackpad can also get the components working properly. But, again, this is not a permanent solution. I'm not sure if there is a permanent solution. And since carrying an external keyboard and mouse around with me is preposterous (imagine someone sitting in a cafè with a keyboard on their keyboard), I'm not going to deal with this anymore. It will be a long time before I consider purchasing another Apple product.
Hey mapercortesia. I actually paid Apple to replace the cable. I tried to replace it myself with one off eBay and it worked except for haptic feedback / clicking.
I can’t work on a crippled device so I took it to Apple immediately. I didn’t bother to check if others had the haptic feedback issue with replacement cable, but that is indeed the case. And there’s 2 part numbers for the cable (one is a revised one that Apple tries to remedy the issue with - but still fails).
Under Australia Consumer Law Guarantee a product must be of acceptable quality free from defect and fit for purpose (e.g. you can use keyboard & mouse). This trackpad cable is, as you say, a design flaw and not durable and fails that test. However this law only applies for products with a reasonable lifetime expectancy. Apple in Australia uses only two factors on deciding reasonable lifetime: (1) when the fault happened and (2) the age of the product.
Apple says: “your laptop is 4 years old, which is 12 months older than expected lifetime”.
Here is an actively maintained compendium of this issue: http://a1502-2015-macbook-pro-13-trackpa...
I urge anyone having this issue please contact https://appleissues.net/ and let them know that this is a widespread well known issue that Apple has not acknowledged and link to above.

-
-
Opération extraction de batterie en cours ! Vu que nous connaissons déjà les écrans Retina, nous avons une petite idée sur comment procéder, mais vous n'allez rien entendre, car il faut d'abord retirer les haut-parleurs.
-
Les quatre vis maintenant le châssis de la batterie en place (et sans doute superflues, vu les quantités d'adhésif) ont été remplacées par quatre caches en caoutchouc.
-
-
-
Apple, qui veut la guerre l'aura. Et comme le bon vieux proverbe Klingon le dit, aujourd'hui est un bon jour pour mourir en essayant de déloger la batterie.
-
Armés de nos fidèles outils iOpener et carte en plastique, nous nous mettons à chauffer et décoller la batterie, en prenant bien soin de ne rien perforer qui "puisse prendre feu".
-
-
-
Ces composants unissent leurs efforts pour échapper à notre œil vigilant. À l'aide de notre outil d'ouverture en plastique, nous poussons la carte de contrôle du trackpad, mais sans l'enlever …
-
Apple a décidé de souder les plus grosses nappes sur la carte de contrôle, ce qui veut dire qu'il ne nous reste qu'à la retourner pour l'instant. ZIF, ça vous rappelle quelque chose Apple ?
-
La nouvelle carte du trackpad a quelques CIs intéressants :
-
Microcontrôleur basé sur ARM Cortex-M 32F103 ST Microelectronics
-
Contrôleur de vitre tactile BCM5976 Broadcom
-
-
-
-
Argh. Nous nous attaquons à la rude tâche de décoller cette fichue batterie. Quel gâchis de colle ! Nous sommes d'avis que l'adhésif devrait être une substance contrôlée et utilisée avec mesure.
-
Nous savons qu'Apple peut faire mieux. Nous l'avons vu, hier par exemple.
-
Les cellules du milieu semblent plus coriaces que celles des années précédentes, à moins que nous ayons perdu de nos forces.
-
Le résultat du décollage de la batterie est … poisseux. Soit Apple estime inutile de remplacer la batterie, soit quelqu'un l'a trempée sans faire exprès dans du goudron.
What was the tar video *of*? <shoot[V]-foot[N.DO]-self[PRO.GEN] copyright rant> Some obscure scene in an obscure movie that would have actually served to advertise the movie to people who read iFixit? Wow - an opportunity for a movie company to perhaps *make money* from “copyright infringement” - *what a concept*!
-
-
-
Nous avons déployé toute notre batterie de procédures afin de retirer cette rangée composée de cellules lithium-polymère et d'une capacité de 74,9 watt-heures.
-
Le modèle de fin 2013 avait 71,8 Wh – nous avons donc gagné 4 % en capacité et même 11 % en autonomie. Nous allons ajouter ce boost à la liste des exploits en performance de l'architecture de Broadwell.
-
Le Dell XPS 13, cependant, arrive à faire fonctionner un écran HD pendant 11 heures (alléguées) avec une batterie de 52 Wh.
-
L'habitant familier des Retina, le CI de jauge de carburant BQ20Z451 Texas Instruments, mesure l'autonomie de la batterie.
-
Ce CI devrait ressembler au plus ancien BQ20Z45 ou à son remplaçant, le BQ20Z45-R1.
-
-
-
Chers amis, voilà le tout nouveau trackpad Force Touch. Pour le tester, nous avons eu recours à notre plus petit employé, Gus
l'Ewokle Cavapoo. -
Nous ne pouvons pas juger un trackpad sur son cache extérieur, donc nous dévissons les 10 vis qui le maintiennent.
-
Nous essayons de ne pas le juger. Il faut reconnaître qu'il n'est pas adhésif. Mais la vue de 10 vis supplémentaires dans le trackpad sous le cache nous fait soupirer. Combien de puissance se cache dans ce trackpad ?
-
-
-
La force est de notre côté. Enfin, le trackpad Force Touch plutôt.
-
Le Taptic Engine que nous attendions depuis 2007 déjà est enfin dans nos mains. Il s'agit du dispositif responsable du retour haptique du Force Touch.
-
Tl;dr: Rumble Pak.
Any chance this is compatible with an older 13" rMBP or 15" rMBP?
-
-
-
Apple nous a montré quelques vues incroyables du nouveau trackpad Force Touch avant-gardiste du MacBook.
-
Nous nous attendions à trouver le même trackpad dans le MacBook Pro, mais celui-là semble un peu différent et comporte un panneau inférieur complet et quatre dispositifs de montage à ressort.
-
-
-
Voyons un peu ce qui se cache sous le capot du Taptic Engine.
-
Nous espérions pouvoir couper le caoutchouc d'un coup, mais il faut le couper morceau par morceau.
-
Voilà enfin les bobines ! Mmh au moins, elles sont visibles …
-
Force Touch est une mise en œuvre astucieuse d'une technologie assez ancienne, datant de 1825 pour être précis.
-
L'électro-aimant composé de bobines de fil entourant un cœur électromagnétique sert à créer la vibration du retour haptique que vous ressentez.
-
-
-
Continuons è éclaircir les secrets du trackpad en commençant par les bobines. Nous espérions trouver la trace d'oscillateurs linéaires dans le Taptic Engine, mais on dirait bien qu'il ne s'agit que d'une série d'électro-aimants.
-
Les aimants s'approchent et s'éloignent d'un rail métallique adjacent au trackpad, ce qui crée un léger "bzz" en réaction à chaque clic (ou un second "bzz" en cas de clic forcé).
-
Voilà l'explication des vibrations, mais d'où viennent les sensations ?
-
Il ne nous reste plus qu'à démonter ce petit garnement pour voir si c'est le cas.
Patent applications related to that trackpad were published in the end of 2013, under an unknown applicant name: Yknots Industries LLC, in Delaware... See for example http://www.google.com/patents/WO20131883..., http://www.google.com/patents/WO20131656..., among others. Once those worldwide patent applications enter in national phases (such as US), they become assigned to Apple Inc.
Does Apple create fake company entities to conceal its published patent applications?
Does Apple create fake company entities to conceal its published patent applications?
Wouldn’t that be at least some counterproductive to Apple, in terms of it’s valuation regarding patents that they have but don’t/haven’t/don’t-ever-intend-to-use? Of course, that assumes that anyone *cares* about that, unless “Time Apple” *really* screws up, it goes back 20 years and manages to drop to a few cents and become a takeover target.
But if Apple decided to license those (hypothetical) “never intend to use” patents.. Or to let them be used in ways that Apple would never actually *do* (because it was too complicated for “the simple folk” in terms of industrial/UX design").
-
-
-
Retirer le trackpad de son support nécessite de trancher quatre points de colle.
-
Ensuite, nous pouvons observer pour la première fois les capteurs de pression.
-
La lentille d'un microscope nous permet d'admirer le support des capteurs de plus près.
-
Parallèlement, le pavé tactile capacitif traditionnel détecte d'où vient la pression.
-
-
-
Voilà un objet familier … La mémoire flash toute nouvelle et doublement rapide comporte exactement les même CIs que celle trouvée dans la vue éclatée récente du MacBook Air 13" :
-
Contrôleur de flash PCIe 3.0 x4 S4LN058A01 Samsung
-
DRAM LPDDR3 de 512 Mo K4E4E324ED Samsung
-
8 x stockage flash de 16 Go K9LDGY8S1D-XCK0 Samsung (128 Go au total)
-
Tout comme son frère que l'on trouve dans le MacBook Air, ce SSD se fait remarquer par sa vitesse considérablement accrue depuis la génération précédente.
So will I be able to order their proprietary SSD from Apple and then be able to upgrade? Will they (Apple) do the upgrade for a charge (albeit a very steep charge)? Say 128 to 512? Surely third parties will as well once warranty goes out on the model..
I would wait at the moment. There is one website that sell the SSD but at a ludicrous price. You can check eBay for the drive, but make sure it's for your apple macbook pro.

Hi everyone I just wanna know, can I upgrade my SSD card on the MacBook Pro retina early 2015 ? Thank you for your answer

Le MacBook perd son facteur cool, puis c'est au tour de la carte mère de voler.
-
Ne vous inquiétez pas, nous contrôlons la situation. À part la quantité faramineuse de pâte thermique, elle ressemble beaucoup à nos camarades des vues éclatées précédentes : même forme et même procédure de retrait.
The thermal pipe contact surface does cover the combined CPU+GPU die completely, so no problem there (though it looks like there's an awful lot of thermal paste on iFixits device...).
The part I think you're looking at (clean with no thermal paste and too far from the thermal pipe contact surface to be covered by it) is the PCH die, which apparently doesn't put off enough heat to matter.
Speculating, if they HAD extended the thermal pipe contact surface to the PCH, it would almost certainly have transferred some of the heat coming off the CPU+GPU die over to the PCH, which in addition to being counterproductive, might be something the PCH can't handle :)

Score de réparabilité du MacBook Pro avec écran Retina 13" début 2015 : 1 sur 10 (10 étant le plus facile à réparer).
-
Les vis propriétaires Pentalobe continuent à compliquer inutilement l'ouverture de l'appareil.
-
L'ensemble batterie est maintenant complètement, et solidement, collé au boîtier, ce qui en complique le remplacement. De plus, la batterie recouvre maintenant les vis et la nappe du trackpad. Il est donc impossible de remplacer le trackpad sans enlever d'abord la batterie.
-
L'écran Retina est d'un seul bloc, fusionné et sans vitre de protection. Si n'importe quelle pièce à l'intérieur tombe en panne, le tout (€€€) devra être remplacé.
-
La RAM est soudée à la carte mère, dans la suite du trend du MacBook Air. Payez maintenant pour la mise à jour ou contentez-vous à jamais des 8 Go. Aucune chance de la mettre à jour.
-
Le SSD PCIe propriétaire n'est toujours pas un disque dur standard. Croisez les doigts dans l'espoir de trouver des disques compatibles à l'avenir. Pour l'instant, vous devez vous contenter de ce que vous avez acheté.
This repairability score seems particularly harsh to me. Pentalobe screws - so? You get a tool and you can open it easily. Battery replacement - yes, difficult, but possible, especially with the guides provided here. SSD - easily available so that comment is overly harsh. I'd give it a 3 or 4. To me, "repairability" is the ability to be repaired, not so much a commentary on how difficult it is. Several components can be replaced, so that's good.

How are the SSDs propriotery? They are just a M.2 SSD available in most places! The Samsung ones are just harder to get.
They appear to be M.2 but they aren't. If you look closely to the connector you can spot some differences.
It's the same as in the old Macbook Retina. A Proprietary connector, it's a modified SATA3 connector. Every macbook aberration has even its own form factor. So upgradability will be not possible that easy.

I would edit the part "Pay for the upgrade now, or be stuck with 8 GB forever. There is no chance of upgrade."
It should rather say "There is no chance of upgrade FOR THE ORDINARY PEOPLE OUT THERE."
I don't know how skilled at soldering technicians you have in the US, but from where I come from (Czech Republic), I work with a guy who can do wonders, and that includes upgrading, usually the 2012 15" Retina Macbooks Pro from 8GB Ram to 16GB ram.
And if there's something this guy can't do, then he has his Polish friends who can resurrect computers that 99.9% technicians out there would consider unrepairable, dead, useless weight.
I wish I had their skills. I guess there's a long way ahead of me
Actually he is correct. The 2012 15" retina has the RAM soldered to the board. The 2012 15" without the retina display does have removable RAM chips. So yes upgrading the 2012 Retina does take some pretty good soldering skills. Here is an image of the 2012 15" Retina motherboard
Hi, i am in germany and I want to open the laptop and clean it for coffee spill. are there technicians like you said in germany? it would be much help
krishna -
Hi, are there any technicians like that in germany? i want help in cleaning my mac which got coffee spilled over

I think the PCIe 3.0 SSD is not a good reason to give this a 1 score. First off, it's smaller. And then it's super fast, has less protocol overhead and can virtually be upgraded with any future PCIe compatible SSD provided Apple builds the support required inside OS X.
Noooooooop. This is not a standard M.2 SSD. It's got a proprietary connector.
I'd like a comparison with the old trackpad to see how it compares. Check overall volume,part volume, part location, height of system and parts, all weights... Maybe edge sealing around the pad...
The point being that I want to know how much does this actually gain or loose. That new Lenovo is about 15% lighter when compared to the new macbook so I'm curious where the weight is coming from.
This means if I have a mid-2014 13" Retina and I buy a new 2015 13" Retina I can't swap the SSD? I was hoping I could, I have a 1TB model now, I'd like to move my SSD into a new 13" Retina.
you may actually be able to... no word on it yet however
Great teardown as usual. "Proprietary" was the beginning of the end for IBM - anybody remember the PS2? Apple is getting cocky and not caring about its customer base the way Microsoft did in the 90s - which led to its irrelevancy of today. Not letting your customers upgrade their SSD down the road is simply cruel, like a doctor telling a patient s/he will only get one battery for the pacemaker. It will come back to bite Apple, as history has proven many times. Anybody remember Apple being close to bankruptcy in the late nineties?
yep and lets not even mention the terrible quality of the iPhone 6 and 6+, they are either out of touch or simply dont care
Roger -
Any chance you can retrofit the force track pad to a late 2013 retina macbook pro?
do you want to be the first to try it? xD
hi guys.. wishes from abu dhabi
i have macbook pro retina 13" late 2012.. is it possible to upgrade its ssd ?
I did it on a MacBookPro Early 2011, be sure of compatibility.
I knew when Steve Jobs died that Apple would not be able to carry on satisfying customers. It only took a couple of generations of the Macbook to alienate the customer. The many changes are not for us, they're for Apple. Old trick - planned obsolescence. If you cannot upgrade the device you have to buy a new one sooner. Great for Apple - bad for customer. But wait, what if customer no longer buys them? I refuse to buy any computer that I cannot upgrade. And I know I'm not the only one. History is repeating itself. No Jobs = bad decisions at Apple. Sell your stock boys, this time he ain't commin' back!
Sorry to break it to you but Steve Jobs was the one who first decided Apple should take the closed system approach way back in the 1980's with the introduction of the Macintosh, he wasn't quite the hero of the company he appears.

What do you exactly need 1 Tb of internal storage for? I have a 128 Gb model and a removable 1 Tb external solid state drive that was £50. Im studying for a masters in mechanical engineering here in England and the macbook is perfect. Its solid as a brick, reliable and stable. Compared to the surface book its cheap.
I have a monster gaming rig the size of a fridge for home use.
Its a tool, you don't perform surgery with a sledgehammer. I would recommend the pro to anyone. Apart from gamers.
Where did you get a 1TB external SSD for £50?
I'm planning tobuy retina macbook pro 2015 13inch
I hAVE SOME DOUBTS
1.Whether ram is soldered or ram upgradable
2. Many people facing problems strains on retina display
3. We can manuallu updgrade ssd in this model
4. whehter it is best for CATIA,ANSYS,SOLID WORKS working environment
If you are doing advanced video editing then even then the 13" is good. I use Adobe Audition and Adobe After Effects with it and it doesn't lag. But the 15" has a dedicated graphics card, that might be better for you if you do 3D modelling as it is more powerful. It is also quad core as opposed to dual core.

OMG was I the only one who loved hearing her say the names of all the components? haha! Great tear down guys!
I really wish you guys had taken off the keyboard backing to show that it is now held in place by rivets, not screws. Wasted 3 hours getting it apart, realizing I couldn't replace the keyboard then putting it back together still broken. Not angry at iFixit. !#^&@@ off at Apple for this blatant disregard to repair-ability.
Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to remove the motherboard without removing the heatsink. Can anyone help me?
'Maybe' but it's not a best practice. The fan on the 13" has a panel that extends far beneath the heatsink. And the tiny ribbon cable that connects the fan to the logic board is very difficult to unplug with the heatsink attached. If you can manage to unplug the ribbon cable without remove the heatsink, then yes.

Hey RikoTiko! Lucky for you we created a product for replacing Retina batteries with adhesive remover, making this job way easier! We have the adhesive remover kit here, and a battery replacement kit here, for use with this guide. Since this requires such a specialized solution, the repairability score still stands, despite being plausible. =)
Well, now I understand (yea, right!) why you guys make the big bucks right out of puberty. So, here’s my question: To begin with, it is now April 2018 and I’m asking about a 2015, 13” 2.9, I5 Retina MB Pro with the 6100 graphics that’s going bad (which should really inspire another blog altogether about why the !&&* Adderrall wasn’t available in the 80s when I clearly needed it), and therefore i’ve been offered this otherwise perfect condition laptop for a song. So, how much will this repair cost, and is there someone in the Washington, D.C. area capable of performing same while I wait, hopefully without being bent over toooo far? Only a day or two to decide … HEEELP!!
s'
could i upgrade my MacBook pro 13” early 2015 from 8 ram to 16 ??
Not you, but somebody! Check them out: https://iboffrcc.com/

Is there a Processor Upgrade i can Get?? And how do i replace it?? Is it Soldered on??
The i5 is not enough for me!
To you and @yourtechy: you can’t upgrade, it’s soldered straight to the board. That’s the norm with laptops unfortunately!
Sure there is! Is it feasible for you to do or economic for you to pay for someone else to do? Nope! Check out Dosdude1 on youtube...You are likely limited to dual core 4th gen cpu's due to the TDP constraints of the 13" laptop though.
Jacob -
Do we have to replace keyboard and trackpad also only to replace the battery?Because my battery has failed.
Have a look here: Remplacement de la batterie du MacBook Pro 13" Retina début 2015. Good luck!
I have 2015 model a1502 macbooc pro, retina and hard drive crashed. Can I fix myself? Local applestore is almost asking half price of macbook. What SSD can fit this model.
@gogababa I think this is the guide you’re looking for. It includes a link to some compatible parts. They are pricey, but far less than half the retail cost of the machine.
Hi, on Step 17 theres a black tape like thing around the CPU that came off during one of my repairs.
There seems to be a lot of confusing stuff on the internet (and during my calls to repair shops) about that.
Is it a thermal pad or kaptom tape? Where can I get the replacement?
Very much appreciated.
Great question...no one knows! Check out the discussion here: Tape over processor and GPU?

Ouch! Marhowl. Ourada plunge-tore a stake into your rectum
I feel like this score (as well as others) deserve a revisit. I am a moderately seasoned technician and I have gutted an entire 13 and 15 inch retina MacBook Pro. What are the main differences from the unibody's?
1. Proprietary SSD (alleviated via a cheap adapter)
2. Soldered RAM (the biggest bummer; but still possible to upgrade and I HAVE: see REWA and iBoff RCC)
3. Riveted Keyboard (Another bummer, but not that impossible to replace; and after replacing? You can use screws!)
4. Adhesive for the battery (I removed both 13/15 batteries WITHOUT heat or adhesive dissolver; I did need to remove the 15 Logic Board, so that is certainly a time consuming repair)
5. The screen assemblies are basically all one unit, any issue means you are replacing the whole thing for most people (but even on the unibodies...who was replacing individual components on these screens? That's crazy risky)
Other than that? Everything is just screws and connectors...borderline identical to unbody's. 1/10? Give me a break...
its configurable up to a 3.1GHz dual core i7. The i5 can turbo to 3.3GHz, but thats it :P
[deleted] - Réponse
if you look at benchmarks, youll find the i7 isnt that much stronger than the 2.7 i5, so for most people it isnt really worth getting. (think about the added heat as well)
