17-inch unibody MacBook Pro gets disassembled, examined

The battery on the now-shipping 17-inch unibody MacBook Pro may not be removable for average, warranty-abiding users, but that didn’t stop the folks at iFixit from removing it and just about everything else that isn’t soldered on. As you might expect, however, apart from that over-sized battery, the internals aren’t too different from the 15-inch unibody MacBook Pro, although the 17-incher unsurprisingly has a pair of noticeably larger fans to keep everything cool, and iFixit describes the component density as “amazing.” Hit up the link below for the complete teardown, and try your best not to imagine a matte black MacBook Pro after catching sight of that battery.
