Look how huge the new 15-inch MacBook Pro's trackpad is
That didn't take long: Days after iFixit tore down the 13-inch version of Apple's new, Touch Bar-equipped MacBook Pro, the 15-inch variant got the same treatment.
Unsurprisingly, the 15-inch MacBook Pro is pretty much a bigger version of its little brother. And it's similarly tough to repair. It scored a one on iFixit Repairability Score, meaning pretty much no one except professionals should ever open this thing. With the processor, RAM and flash memory soldered onto the logic board, and the battery glued to the case, there's very few things a user can replace on her own.
That said, the teardown reveals some interesting details about the biggest, thinnest, newest MacBook Pro.

For example, just look at this comparison between the Pro's force feedback-equipped trackpad and an iPad mini 4. It's huge!
Also interesting are Apple's brand new fans (photo on top), which come in pairs on the Touch Bar MacBook Pro and keep the device cool. Apple says the fans' asymmetric new blades have better performance than regular ones and produce less noise.
