I do. Thanks. While I think the model name is simply MacBook, the retina descriptor helps clarify we aren't talking about 2006-2009 era models. Smile Appreciate the link!

Not much to it. As I said in another thread, about the size of the iPhone 4.

I hate it when sites (fixit in this case) force you to look at their mobile version. Give me the choice, that's one reason I have a smartphone!

Agreed!

I've said the same thing!

Have you tried requesting the desktop version? Or charging the user agent string? Don't know if mobile Safari ever added the feature, but pretty sure iCab Mobile still has it.

What the company did find that was surprising was a battery connector hidden under the logic board, just one of a few internal comparisons to Apple's iPad line made with the new MacBook.

I was curious because while I'm not a geek, it can be fascinating to read some of this stuff. But, I have no clue as to what is surprising about a battery connector hidden under the logic board...
