ifixit disassembled the M2 MacBook Pro in 14″ and looked at the repairability. It is practical that you can work well on the device: almost everything is screwed together and the system can be easily disassembled. The one provided by Apple also helps here Repair Guide< /a> that the corporation posts to prevent right-to-repair laws.
But of course it’s not all pure friendliness: ifixit notes that the display has an opening angle sensor, for which the activation procedure in the instructions must be followed exactly – otherwise it simply burns out. The question is what happens if you want to use a display from another original MacBook Pro or get one from another source somewhere. So Apple shows some good will with good accessibility of the components and detailed instructions – on the other hand, the components are coupled to the logic board so that Apple never relinquishes control.
The smaller M1 MacBook Air, for example, has a decisive advantage here: its display only uses normal hinges, so that replacing it with a spare part is very easy and can also be done quickly.
