While new tablets and smartphones are almost always great, there are users out there who might be more concerned over other aspects of the device and not just on its features and hardware specs. These other aspects includes issues such as how easy would it be to repair, are the parts all customized and will need specially made equipment to fix and etc. Well the good news is that if you’ve always wondered how the innards of Amazon’s new Kindle Fire HD looks like, the folks at iFixit have posted their tear down of Amazon’s latest tablet.
