hey guys I'm Gwendolyn and this is the
iFixit rundown where I give you all the
news that happened this month and I fix
it
our tear down table and tools have seen
a lot of action this fall and while we
get excited to see inside all gadgets we
were especially intrigued by the new
MacBook Pros that were announced at
Apple's latest event we started with the
13-inch MacBook Pro with function keys
this pro is smaller and lighter and sure
to impress even air fans as it's the
same weight then we got our hands on the
13-inch MacBook Pro with touch bar we
were surprised that the internal design
was so different from the function key
model and couldn't wait to see the new
touch bar up close unfortunately it
wasn't easy to get to more on that later
and we couldn't leave out the 15-inch
MacBook Pro so we opened that one up to
arguably the most pro of the lineup the
15-inch MacBook Pro with touch bar comes
with more pixels or trackpad and more
negative money in your wallets in its
tiny twins
we also tore apart the new ps4 pro the
ps4 pro is bigger and heavier than the
original and after a thorough teardown
we attribute a lot of that heft to power
requirements
unlike the PlayStation 4 of 2013 which
topped out at 165 watts the pros giant
internal power supply dishes out an
impressive 289 watts of power and it has
a cooling system to match finally we
tore open the new Microsoft Surface
studio this all-in-one PC has a 28 inch
pixel sense display that can be adjusted
to an almost completely horizontal
position the base of the surface studio
is home to the hybrid hard-disk which is
comprised of a standard and removable 64
gigabyte SanDisk m2 SSD and a somewhat
underwhelming 5400 rpm standard SATA
hard drive we also found the power
supply and the motherboard which is home
to the 6th gen Intel i5 processor and
the nvidia gtx 960 5 m GPU the display
was held in place by a monster
zero-gravity hinge and was home to quite
a number of
including a 32-bit ARM Cortex m7
processor and a sensor bar that included
microphones and IR projector camera
combo that powers Windows Lo and a five
megapixel webcam curious to see how
these devices did on our repairability

comm over at our blog we say goodbye to
an old staple in our lives the MagSafe
charger apple is quietly killing off
MagSafe in the name of a single
standardized connector you can now
charge your new MacBooks from any one of
the USBC ports while a multitasking
reversible port is an advantage it's not
going to save your computer from any
tripping accidents snapchat has started
