iFixit's teardown of Apple's $599 MacBook Neo awards it a 6/10 repairability score, Apple's best in 14 years, thanks to a screw-mounted battery, modular USB‑C ports, easier display removal, and a keyboard that's now replaceable without swapping the entire top case. The gains come with compromises, including a labor-intensive 41‑screw keyboard procedure, continued use of pentalobe screws, soldered 8GB RAM, and 256/512GB storage that limit upgrades and data recovery, and pared-back audio and trackpad hardware.
