Admiral Regulus 2,769 Posted November 25, 2014 Top right: looks like CPU + GPU + heatsink Top left: RAM, maybe? That looks kinda like memory, although I would think Apple uses DIMMs like most PCs do. Bottom left: Hard disk? Bottom center: Battery? Batteries? No idea. 3 Link to comment

Bottom left: Hard disk? Bottom center: Battery? Batteries? No idea. all of the bottom is the battery the whole logic board is on the top ( yes its smaller than the battery ) top left you will see the tiny ssd (holds 250 gb ) top center right you can see the two heat sinks one for gpu and one for cpu as for ram its on the logic board you can't remove or replace it. This was a pain in the rear to fix but its fine now 2 Link to comment

simply creative 696 Posted November 26, 2014 Are those Toshiba parts that I see? lolol eeyp the ssd is made by toshiba . I was upset when I saw that apple is using cheap alternatives. 2 Link to comment
lomk 20,663 Posted November 26, 2014 I thought it was funny that it has Toshiba parts in there. Everyone knocks Toshiba for making low quality machines yet everyone tends to think that Apple products are the cream of the crop...yet they use Toshiba parts! That's like the iPod Classic uses a hard drive made by (you guessed it) Toshiba. lol I don't like the Mac OS so I stay away from them. But as a hardware guy, I love seeing the insides of these things. Neat post 3 Link to comment
Azure Envy 1,092 Posted November 26, 2014 lolol eeyp the ssd is made by toshiba . I was upset when I saw that apple is using cheap alternatives. Toshiba is one of the largest memory manufacturers in the world. They sell primarily to OEM and thus do not have a large consumer facing presence like Samsung. Their drives are still very high quality and they are the only reason why the OCZ name still exists. As a result, OCZ is making reliable SSDs for the first time. Unprecedented. 2 Link to comment
J.T. 1,843 Posted November 26, 2014 lolol eeyp the ssd is made by toshiba . I was upset when I saw that apple is using cheap alternatives. I have a Toshiba Qosmio and it's still running strong after five years. 2 Link to comment
Evilshy 5,090 Posted November 26, 2014 I understand the point of extra light laptops, but I've always preferred to have a heavier, more powerful laptop. I use mine as a portable desktop with only one cord, and as such, it's a gaming powerhouse that weighs in at ~9 lbs. 2 Link to comment

I already have a really powerful desktop you can see it on my other blog entry (check it out ) 1 Link to comment
NetherMan65 190 Posted November 26, 2014 My 18" laptop, even with Beats audio, only weighs about 4-5 pounds. Who knows? :\ Link to comment
