A sad broken MacBook
Made in China...
Assembled in China
Hard Drive made in Korea!
Awesome specs...
A nicely broken corner
MacBook keyboard after 2.5 years of use
Lot's of bolts to stop the end-user of getting inside the MacBook
One RAM slot is "Better" than the other :)
DVD drive made in Indonesia
Intel GMA graphics card. Sucks. And made in China.
Will we go deeper? Oh yeah!
Let's see what we have got so far.
The CPU
Some weird chip next to the CPU
Oops. I removed the CPU.
How do I get it back there?
Looks like a small town surrounded with silos of toxic waste...
Oh, there is the motherboard's main chip. And guess where was it made?
Surprisingly, clock battery is not made in China. I officially choose it as the most valuable part of a MacBook.
LCD screen is not that bad either. I had no complaints about it, except that it was small.
The inverter board is nicely wrapped up.
Apple. Half the reliability, Twice the price.
Rest in pieces.
Google battery. Holds up to 20 minutes.
Wireless adapter. Can you read where it's made in?
Anyone need this crap?
