Last month, Appletell reported on iFixit’s look inside the Mac Mini mid 2011 model in which they discovered there’s room for a second hard drive. All you need is a special connector for the hard drive and the tools to take apart your Mac Mini. Why Apple didn’t offer that as an option when the server version has two hard drives is a mystery to me, but thanks to iFixit, you can correct Apple’s oversight.

What’s interesting is that most of the components of the MacBook Air are the same as last year’s model. Just as in 2010, the SSD is not soldered to the logic board, so it’s replaceable if you want more hard drive space. However, you won’t be able to buy any kind of SSD to put in yourself since it’s a proprietary model and it’s doubtful Apple will make one available.

iFixIt, the company responsible taking all of our favorite and shiny new gadgets has already gotten their hands on the iPad and stripped it to its bare parts. As always, you can follow their step by step guide posted on their site if you are truly interested in how to take it apart the right way. However, what may be more interesting is what the iFixIt team found inside of the iPad. For instance, the iPad has two battery packs wired in parallel that hold 5.5 times the capacity of the iPhone.

iFixit, which is well-known for these types of things, has been quick in taking apart Apple’s newly updated MacBook, and offers a number of images documenting the process and findings. Highlights include the fact that there is no external battery charge indicator, the computer is incompatible with the Apple Remote, and the battery’s power-to-weight ratio is 23.5% better than before. More after the break.

I know you. You’ve heard about the new MacBook and MacBook Pro, but that isn’t enough for you. No no, you, my friend, need more. You’ve got to see what’s inside the beast. It’s your lucky day since iFixIt doesn’t mind disassembling one of each of the above Apple notebooks. Sometimes, don’t you just wish you had a job like this guy’s over at iFixIt?

The unboxing, followed by uncasing of the MacBook Pro, contains a comparison of current and last generation models. Both picture sets actually give decent walkthroughs on the features of both machines. Plus, if you ever feel the need to rip apart your new machine, they detail every step they made to take theirs apart.
