We got our fingers all over Apple's new touchscreen MacBook PROLED XDR and we have some thoughts.

The good news is that there’s no separate lid-angle sensor to worry about. We're also happy to report no software issues after swapping the logic board. The bad news is that getting to the fan and USB-C ports is quite a trek. Even worse is the soldered-on storage. It's an improvement over the M5 MacBook Pro, but a step down compared to the MacBook Neo. Read more at the link below.

Photo of a MacBook PROLED XDR battery pack lifted out of its chassis and held up above the empty case, against a white background. Two hands grip the outer edges, one at each side, so the pack hangs open like a wide, flat arc.

We’re deep into our teardown of Apple’s new touchscreen MacBook Pro PROLED XDR, and it’s already giving us plenty to look at (and touch). Stay tuned to see what’s inside.

At the center right, a MacBook Pro PROLED XDR lies open and face-down with its bottom cover removed, exposing its internals: four battery cells, a circuit board, two cooling fans, and a copper heat pipe. A blue-handled spudger rests across one fan. Beside it are four black and blue precision screwdrivers lined up in a row and a long black strip of small parts angled at the right edge. At the upper left, the laptop’s dark bottom cover lies flat, with four rubber feet and ‘MacBook Pro’ lettering visible. Two hands come in from the left edge of the frame and hold a white magnetic project mat.

A large octagonal softbox light stands to his right, with part of a second light at the far right edge.

Nearby are four black and blue precision screwdrivers lined up in a row and a long black strip of small parts angled across the bottom. A white magnetic project mat with a grid holds a few black screws and brackets sorted into its squares.

Meet the newest member of the Pro Tech family: the Pro Tech Essentials Toolkit. 🛠️

We designed this kit for the repairs most people actually face. A laptop battery that’s worn out. A controller that needs cleaning. A smartwatch, a Bluetooth speaker, or a smart home gadget that’s on the fritz. If you’re just getting started with repair, or you want a compact kit for everyday fixes, this is the one.

It includes 16 S2 steel bits for the screws you’ll find most often, including Pentalobe, Torx, Torx Security, Tri-point, Phillips, and flathead, plus a SIM eject pin. There’s a magnetic driver with bit storage in the handle, an opening tool, a spudger, opening picks, tweezers, and a metal opening pick, which is a first for any Pro Tech kit. Everything folds flat into a tool roll that fits in a bag or drawer.

Need tools for consoles, drones, or vintage electronics? The Pro Tech Go and Pro Tech Toolkit have you covered. For everyday tech, Essentials is the place to start.

Large white text reads ‘PRO TECH’ and, below it inside a white rounded box, ‘ESSENTIALS’ in gray. Behind and between the letters, an assortment of repair tools float in mid-air as if tossed upward.
Square promotional graphic for iFixit’s Pro Tech Essentials toolkit on a soft gray background with blurred blue blobs at the edges. Small black text reads ‘PRO TECH ESSENTIALS,’ with large blue text below it reading ‘PRECISION PICKED. NOTHING WASTED.’ The kit’s tools float in mid-air, each tagged with a handwritten blue label and a curved arrow. A precision driver set is labeled ‘Precision Driver’: an open black case of neatly arranged silver bits with a black and blue screwdriver handle. A second label, ‘16 S2 Steel Bits,’ points at the same case from the lower left, near a blue plastic pry tool.
