hey guys I'm going to lynge and this is
the iFixit rundown where I give you all
the news that happened this month and I
fix it here's what we've been up to tear
down season continues here at I fix it
we started this month with the iPad pro
nine point seven inch as you could
imagine there were a lot of similarities
to last year's twelve point nine inch
version a few notable differences are
the sizable camera bump due to a slimmer
case and the absence of those handy pull
tabs for the battery we loved the next
tear down enough to give it one of our
highest repair ability scores of the
season and of course some virtual
high-fives LG did a fantastic job at
making a unibody design modular and
repairable so we gave it a well deserved
eight out of ten
like other pre-orders of the HTC vive we
anxiously awaited the arrival of our
very own kit we were still a little
hopped up on our rift when it arrived
but we couldn't wait to see the
differences this VR headset had to offer
while the construction of the vibe is
very reminiscent to the oculus rift the
head tracking system in the vibe is the
exact opposite the rift uses a desk
mount and camera to track the IR
emitters in the headset whereas the vive
headset sees light from the mounted IR
emitters without actually tracking its
location there's more tear downs to view
including the retina MacBook 2016 the
Amazon echo dot and tap and the oculus
constellation go in-depth with all these
tear downs and more at ifixit.com if you
