Found this via my Macrumours Twitter feed: http://www.macrumors.com/2009/06/10/13-macbook-teardown-and-unboxing-galleries/ Here's the original teardown article on iFixit: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/MacBook-Pro-13-Inch-Unibody/814/1
i therefore conclude that all macbook pro laptops (all unibodies for that matter) all have internal batteries / single slate bottom cases. uber gooooood.
I'll have to concur with mig; iStat Pro/Menu has always listed a single fan in the temperature reading in my 13"
@Rafael, I have always thought that there were 2 (1 for each heatsink). I just checked my iStat Pro menu and though there is only 1 Exhaust RPM speed indicated it is labeled as Fans. I have never really bothered to check this before but now am really interested to validate whether it has 1 or 2 fans. Hehe! Hope someone can verify. Thanks you for starting this interesting thread.
Actually, the battery is very similar to the removable ones though without the plastic/aluminum housing.
@sabonis: Try looking at iFixit's teardown of the White Macbook, or their How-To on how to replace an internal component. I'm sure you'll find the answer on their site.
Hi, Just went to the site and though I didn't find the actual teardown, I saw a "how-to take out" the fan pic. Thanks for the help.
Actually, according to the "fixit" write-up, you need to remove 10 more screws to replace the HD than in the earlier unibody model.
Exactly like the first generation 17 unibody. It is still much much easier to do then upgrading the old "classic" Macbook Pros.
