2015 MacBook Air disassembly atlas

Apple released its new 2015 11-inch MacBook in California on March 10, while also updating the MacBook Air, so what's the difference between the new MacBook Air and the old one in terms of design and hardware? The famous electronic equipment dismantling team IFixit for everyone Two new MacBook Air (11 inches and 13 inches) have been disassembled, and here's a look at the 2015 11-inch MacBook and the 13-inch MacBook Air disassembly atlas.

　　　11-inch Basic Configuration

Fifth generation Dual Core Intel Core i5 processor integrated with Intel HD Graphics 6000

128GB Flash (optional 512GB)

4GB LPDDR3 memory (optional 8GB, but not upgradeable)

11.6 "Display, resolution 1366x768 (135PPI)

802.11ac Wi-Fi

Thunderbolt 2

Dual microphone

Before disassembling, you can see that the Model number is still A1465, which is the same as the mid-2012 paragraph.

Although 7.6v,5100mah's battery is the same as last year's model, Apple says the new MacBook Air can watch a movie for up to 10 hours.

The new 13-inch MacBook Air has a faster SSD speed, while the 11-inch model is maintained at the 2013 model level.

There are many similarities between the 2015 and 13 MacBook Air in some internal chips.

I/O panel and interface, including headphone hole, USB interface, MagSafe 2 interface. Including this Cirrus Logic 4208-CRZ Audio Controller is also the same as the 13-inch model this year.

The 11-inch MacBook Air in 2015 is 4-cent repairable, and is divided into 10 points (10 is the easiest to fix).

　　13 inch

Basic Configuration

Fifth generation Dual Core Intel Core i5 processor integrated with Intel HD Graphics 6000

128GB Flash (optional 512GB)

4GB LPDDR3 memory (optional 8GB, but not upgradeable)

13.3 "Display, resolution 1440x900 (128PPI)

802.11ac Wi-Fi

Thunderbolt 2

Dual microphone

The Model number of the new 13-inch MacBook Air is still A1466. How do I differentiate from the old paragraph? Look at EMC electromagnetic compatibility number 2925 behind. On the right is the SDXC card slot, USB 3.0 interface, Thunderbolt 2 interface. The other end is the MagSafe 2 power connector, the headphone jack and the other USB 3.0 interface.

The above is the comparison of the two MacBook Air, the first picture is the 2015 paragraph, the second one is the 13 interim paragraph.

The battery size is also 7.6V, 54Wh, 7150mAh, but the new 14NM processor allows longer battery life, up to 12 hours of surfing the internet or watching video.

SSD upgrade, or PCI-E, can be taken directly, meaning can be replaced or upgraded.

I/O panel and interface, and 2013 is still nothing different. Including this Cirrus Logic 4208-CRZ Audio Controller is also the same as the 13-inch model this year.

The 13-inch MacBook Air in 2015 is 4-cent repairable, and is divided into 10 points (10 is the easiest to fix).
