Wow! What an incredible machine. We are very impressed by the ease with which the new MacBook Pro came apart. This machine should be a joy to work on.
Bottom left: hard drive and battery.
Top: Display
Center: Logic board, fans, and speakers
Bottom-center: subwoofer, optical drive, RAM, and heatsinks.
Right: Custom-machined unibody upper case and keyboard.
Here's a high resolution image.
Looking for more pictures? We've also disassembled the new MacBook.

i was just wondering: is there anyway to incorporate the keyboard of the previous gen mbp into this one? (maybe some 3rd party product) i loved the way the keys were curved on the mbp and this ones arent. Just wondering.

The two keyboards are not compatible, unfortunately. We are not aware of a way to rig the MBP 15" Al keyboard into the MBP 15" Unibody.

thanks anyway miro. I'll keep brainstorming a way to combine the power of the unibody with the comfort of the mbp.
Wow great site! Top of my list!
Say I spilled beer on the keyboard (for the sake of the argument :)
Apparently, some LEDs have dimmed but don't seem to be off (line going from the F2 to the "v" and everything to its left). I do not know if it's electrical or I can fix it by sweeping something. What's your guess?

If you're lucky it's some kind of shortcut in the wires. You'd cleanse the keyboard using calcium free water (buy some at your local garage), wash the beer stains off of the keyboard layers and let them dry. Be sure there is no water between the filaments when reattaching the keyboard, you might cause even more severe shortcuts!!
Another possibility is that the beer corroded the wires, in this case you'll probably see the wires on the filaments turned from silverish to grey/black, in this case you need a replacement keyboard or just live with the current situation.

Could you mention what the locations of the speakers and the subwoofer are in Macbook Pro?
Check out our Macbook Pro 15" Unibody page for detailed instructions. We have one guide for the left speaker and one guide for the subwoofer/right speaker (they are in the same housing).

How long would you let the keyboard dry for after washing it with the water?
