We completed the disassembly of our MacBook Unibody:
Removing the new MacBook logic board
Cool things we learned:
- Apple’s new hardware is significantly more elegant due to their use of the new “Brick” manufacturing process.
- The design of both machines is significantly inspired by the MacBook Air. As a result, the MacBook and MacBook Pro designs have significantly converged and are much more similar than they used to be.
MacBook Unibody tidbits:
- The new MacBook is really a 13″ MacBook Pro. It uses the same design, and same manufacturing quality. Bridging the gap between consumer and professional model.
- The Superdrive is the same in the MacBook and MacBook Pro.
- We showed the parts to some industrial engineers familiar with manufacturing processes. Overall, they were extremely impressed by the build quality of the machine and the cutting edge mass-produced unibody.
Is there any way to make the cheaper Macbook with illuminated keyboard?

I have a white Used Macbook which is not a Unibody one. The policarbonate body has showed lots of problems, and due to some problem, I believe, Apple decided to make it as unibody. However, the problem is the material itself. I believe the crack is caused by heat captured inside of the enclosure. Any solution for the problem?
