This means the MBP can be used as a real working device – one ambition that does not apply for the slimmed down Air-series or the new 12-inch MacBook. The highlights of the port variety are the two Thunderbolt 2 ports (also usable as Mini-DisplayPort, up to 4K 60 Hz) in addition you get two USB 3.0 ports as well as one HDMI port (4K 24 Hz). The specialists from iFixit only rated the MacBook with 1 out of 10 possible points.
Our critical eyes could not find any build quality flaws, but we can still notice the very limited upgradeability. The chassis, which is milled from a single piece of aluminum, is not the lightest of its kind with 1.6 kg, but the stability is excellent in return and you probably get the most precise display hinges in this class.

Although there are many high-quality Ultrabooks with Windows nowadays, not many can actually reach the level of Apple. The MacBook is still the benchmark for all the rivals in respect of the quality. All the corresponding information is available in our unboxing and test video on YouTube as well as the previous review article. Since the chassis and the ports are identical to the predecessor, we won't cover them extensively once again.

#Top case macbook pro 13 retina 2015 Bluetooth
I've been using a generic Bluetooth Keyboard since I damaged my keyboard - 3 weeks ago - until I decide what to do, and I'm tired of it since I can't use my Macbook as it's designed for. I live in Brazil, and unfortunately things here are way more expensive than in any other country, such as US.
The trackpad doesn't need calibrating if replaced, and if done properly you won't have battery issues. Either do this or find a 2015 palmrest (you can buy these with the trackpad and battery or with just the keyboard). Just patience and some wire cutters are required. The keyboards aren't that difficult to replace, as long as you remove all the outer rivets it will be very stable (even if you mess up a few in the middle). Secondly, the mounting points are different between the years, so there will be no way to secure the 2015 trackpad if it does fit (the 2015 trackpad uses a number of T4 screws around it to secure the backplate to the palmrest, the 2014 uses 12 screws at the top of the trackpad, since it moves on a hinge essentially).Īlso, there is no way to do a straight swap of the palmrests, since the trackpads are different, but it sounds like you know that already.Ĭancel the order for the 2014 palmrest, you won't be able to make it work with the 2015 unfortunately, other than doing a botch job with the trackpad :( It sounds like you want to swap the 2015 battery and trackpad into the 2014 palmrest.įirstly, the batteries are glued in, so you will have to remove 2 batteries to get to the trackpads, without puncturing them.
