What an awesome idea it is for you to start laptop teardowns. I think even more important would be laptop durability tests. Every laptop reviewer usually tests some things durability, but there is just so much that isn't covered and this channel could serve so well! We have things such as keyboard deck flex, poor key stability, trackpad clicking from the bottom due to poor rigidity, screen wobbling due to poor hinges, plastic bottoms with aluminum tops, carbon fiber interiors, little flimsy covers over some port openings, and just a ton more stuff that I can't even think of at the moment. I know a laptop doesn't take as much abuse as a phone, but it is a mobile product and durability is quite important. Zack, is that something you might consider going forward? (Samsung's been getting away with poor laptop build quality for far too long now :) -- An example is this -- we all think Razer can get away with its high prices due to the build quality, which some say is equivalent to that of a MacBook. Well, I hear that but never actually SEE build quality being tested. I know it's an expensive proposition to durability test such expensive devices, but if it's something you might be able to swing, I think it would be so helpful to the audience.
I believe that the braille conforms to the Unicode 6-dot pattern standard as detailed on the wiki titled: Braille Patterns.

The braille should be readable from the other side when you take out the trackpad. So if you take a picture and scan the picture such that the braille is flipped then maybe the app you have can translate it
It won’t come back to anything useful. Those markings aren’t referenced in Apple service, and are most likely something Pegatron, or any of the other places that manufacture Apple products to help the automatic machines differentiate which top case is for which model. Apple MacBooks have also had these markings for several years. Although, I haven’t compared between different models. I might do that this week
as for message you can find it almost on any mac aluminium chassey. these are drilling bit calibration marks / identification of the machine. You can see a similar method like a color strip on many soda cans. if quality control finds an issue, it would be easier to track which machine is causing it.

Zack, usually braille is EMbossed not DEbossed, so I bet you could read it from the other side of the panel (backside) let us know if you tore it down again to read the message.
I'm half interested in one of these, but I can't get over the soldered SSD. Having no option to change storage due to failure or space requirements is really dumb. It's not like their storage even outperforms high-end M.2's anyway. I can sort of understand the RAM being soldered right next to the CPU/APU, that does give some significant speed and latency benefits. Like all laptops I buy, I get it spec'd with the lowest RAM/SSD I can and upgrade myself. Silly to pay the 100%+ markup for something so simple.
IF you have the equipment and skill to solder BGA chips, an EEPROM programmer, and another Mac with software to initialize the SSD chips and rewrite the serial number, you can upgrade the SSD. Upgrading RAM can probably be done without messing around with the firmware, but again you have to be able to rework BGA packages.
It's most likely something boring. Probably a code that was made by the machine that milled the chassis as a way of marking what assembly line or specific machine it was made on. Things like this are really common in all sorts of products, and are used to help track down quality control issues and quickly identify what machine might be running into a problem.
How about a durability test for the Apple Watch Ultra? I’d like to see if they’re using the same sapphire as they’re using for the camera lens of the iphones. Also, a comparison between the titanium case vs the normal Apple Watch anodized aluminium would be very nice.
There are a few companies doing board level repairs on Mac books, like Rossman repair group. He has tons of videos on here too. This would be a great collaboration on repairability.
If you like your device to be fully software controlled/locked by the seller even though you payed for it to be yours, If you like your device to be completely unfixable when there is an issue with it, If you like your device to be as non environmental friendly as it could possibly be, If you like your device to be super expensive for no reason Well, then buy an Apple Silicon MacBook!
Braille cells are three dots by two rows normally, or four dots by two rows in some cases. I can't see the video but if it looks like either of those it could still be braille. Debossed braille isn't standard, but you sort of learn to read it through the back of pages if you're curious enough. In other words, it can be read.
They actually among the most well built and “durable” laptops. But i do have to agree that I’m a little conscious about the scratching, but from what i have heard it doesn’t scratch easily.
@@Okamine well these with butterfly keyboard switches sure ain't. But yeah, I get it, while they certainly will scratch, they tend to be solidly built. A shame that WHEN something happens it's pretty much impossible to repair. A device that's either easy to protect or easy to repair is the actually most durable in most conditions if you calculate money spent compared to punishment endured.
So I have a 2021 MBP and my screen cracked ever so slightly from a grain of rice (or some dust particle that small) that was accidentally lodged in between the screen and chassis. Replacement would’ve cost 1/4th the price of the laptop, so I now use it as is. So yeah, they’re pretty fragile! Specially the screen.
@Samuel Maier i got a question so what if my hard drive doesnt work or hard drive issue can apple fix it is fixed on the motherboard because i have MBA 2020 and i got a hd problem it doesnt let me reset the software even though i tried evrrything and all commands
As a native Spanish speaker let me tell you the Spanish audio track is AWFUL. Some words are not even right or pronounced correctly. Is that made with an audio generator or a real person? 😳
Interestingly, the people talking trash on Mac laptops would probably be impressed by them. I've tried System76 laptops... I've tried Alienware laptops... I've worked with HP and Dell laptops. Not a single one comes close to the quality that Apple provides. When it comes to desktops, you'd be crazy to get an Apple desktop, but their laptop hardware is just unmatched.
The irony of Apple. They don't want you to repair the insides, yet make the insides look really sleek and beautiful hoping someone will open it up and look at it. Just look at it, that's it. That's some trolling right there. But yeah, those are some beautifully organized components. The closest that anyone has got to that level of organisation in laptops is probably Lenovo with their latest yoga series.
Maybe that brail text is too be read from the opposite side, since it is recessed. I do wonder though, how they managed to make such an impressive hinge that allows you open up the book with one finger and yet it stays solid. Nice one Jerry ❤❤❤
The text isn't braille (as far as I know) because there isn't a character that corresponds to two middle dots and obviously the character at the end/front with a line then a dot isn't braille either. It's probably a way for them to note something about the part. Perhaps they didn't just print the information because they already were having a tool form the aluminum, so they might as well use that to also print the manufacturing info on the metal with the braille-like bumps.
Im visually impaired and can confirm that it is not standard braill, if braille at all. Becuase if you look at the canter dots there is one cell with three horizontal dots and one dot in the center beneath it, such a cell does not exist in braille since every language of braille, uses 2 columns of 3 dots, while this has 3 columns. Anyways, love your videos!
Zack is the host of the channel. You know, the guy who’s talking. If I remember right, Jerry is the name of one of Zack’s grandfather’s. And the word “jerryrig” roughly means to improvise.
Actually MBP 2017 looks very similar to disassemble (apart from the cpu and cooling chassis), similar battery, trackpad connection, same different sized screws. Special care needs to be taken with metallic screwdrivers not to damage the speakers whose strong magnets tend to attract the screwdriver all the time you’re near them.
For the super extra curious, there’s also a glimpse at a similar inverse braille stamping at 4:38 on the front side of the frame for the track pad. It’s different though and much less stamping. I looked to see if the stamping from the back side would’ve come through to the front and I can’t tell if it’s the same or not. The left side is silver like the frame itself and the right side is that powder coat black color. If we look at the back side, the entire left half is silver again but the right side has both silver and that black coloring in the stamping. Looking at the touchpad at 4:18 - I almost wonder if it’s just cutouts for circuitry? If they have different suppliers for their touchpad/keyboard combos while using the same frame designs? I’ll be taking an older but still less than 6 year old MacBook Pro apart soon and I’m going to now look for this and report back one day
To answer your question, Zac - Apple has been doing the sombrero hat trick since at least 2016 revs. I just replaced the battery on my 2017 MBP and it's the same there, too. In fact it's surprising how similar the layout is to the new M1/M2s. It wasn't that way on the previous versions, likely because the PMU had the original magsafe (v. I & II) on a seperate PMU board and not integrated via USB-C/TB ports.
8:25 - Remember, the laptop is more afraid of you than you are of it! Laptops are not known for their aggressive behavior, despite how wide they are able to open their mouth!
So I heard from a relative of one of Apple’s hardware engineers about all those variety of screws - it seems stupid to have so many different screws all throughout the product, but the reason they do that is because each screw is selected for its thermal transfer properties. All those different screws are why iPhones and MacBooks don’t get hot spots on them while under heavy load like every other phone and laptop do. They’re designed to spread the heat much more evenly across the whole device so they don’t get as hot and are less likely to overheat or fail or lock up.
Big thank you for not scratching the Aluminum Body. We might have different opinions about how good minimalistic designs looks, but it left your hands unharmed, that says something.
Must admit the durability tests stops me from watching a lot of his videos. I greatly prefer the ones where he's building not destroying. Loving the EV Humvee lately :)
The battery using a screw has been since 2016 from what I remember. Although using pull tabs is definitely new since the old ones where held with crazy adhesive with no tabs. If the keyboard needed replaced then the entire top case was replaced battery and all lol
for real though, honestly suppressed he didn't go ROG phone on this thing, (if you don't know what I'm talking about, he scratched the paint off the ROG phone)
@@trader2137 some time before I had Asus laptop with hard and thick polymer case, with some tech that make it feel like metal… was good. But after using Apple product don’t want to get back to plastic. Metal,leather,wood,rock and glass is materials I enjoy to touch evry time.
@@ProGuitarUA im typing from MBP M1 Pro 16, and i find the aluminium edges are too sharp - like almost razor sharp, and often the aluminium feels cold and dry to the touch, its not comfortable to lay hands on it

The closest that anyone has got to that level of organisation in laptops is probably Lenovo with their latest yoga series.
Could you do a framework laptop? Supposedly great repairability
4:47 - You're Welcome!
Maybe that brail text is too be read from the opposite side, since it is recessed.
I do wonder though, how they managed to make such an impressive hinge that allows you open up the book with one finger and yet it stays solid.
Nice one Jerry ❤❤❤
they spends billions on r&d every year. also its not a new feature
The hinge is so perfect
@@bigtitmaster And still manage to make bad cooling
His name is Zac not Jerry, Jerry Rig just means "to just make something work"
@@thewhiteriver777 Jerry is also the name of Zac's grandfather who passed on if I'm correct
The text isn't braille (as far as I know) because there isn't a character that corresponds to two middle dots and obviously the character at the end/front with a line then a dot isn't braille either. It's probably a way for them to note something about the part.
Perhaps they didn't just print the information because they already were having a tool form the aluminum, so they might as well use that to also print the manufacturing info on the metal with the braille-like bumps.
Im visually impaired and can confirm that it is not standard braill, if braille at all. Becuase if you look at the canter dots there is one cell with three horizontal dots and one dot in the center beneath it, such a cell does not exist in braille since every language of braille, uses 2 columns of 3 dots, while this has 3 columns. Anyways, love your videos!
5:25 pop,pop,pop,pop, 😂😂😂
Is it possible the braille is reversed?
Thats exactly what I thought, mebbe it needs to be read on they side they stand up on...
Can watch Jerry's videos all day long! Great job 👍
Who's Jerry?
@@PatrickVogelius Zack
@@NarekDeeMusic Who's Zack?
@@zUltra3D 😀
Zack is the host of the channel. You know, the guy who’s talking. If I remember right, Jerry is the name of one of Zack’s grandfather’s. And the word “jerryrig” roughly means to improvise.
Maybe someone who is blind and watching this video could tell us what it means?
6:06 “Apple surely knows its demographic”
*suddenly feels attacked
Actually MBP 2017 looks very similar to disassemble (apart from the cpu and cooling chassis), similar battery, trackpad connection, same different sized screws. Special care needs to be taken with metallic screwdrivers not to damage the speakers whose strong magnets tend to attract the screwdriver all the time you’re near them.
Awesome video !! Impressed by how you took it apart !!! And put it back together
For the super extra curious, there’s also a glimpse at a similar inverse braille stamping at 4:38 on the front side of the frame for the track pad. It’s different though and much less stamping.
I looked to see if the stamping from the back side would’ve come through to the front and I can’t tell if it’s the same or not. The left side is silver like the frame itself and the right side is that powder coat black color.
If we look at the back side, the entire left half is silver again but the right side has both silver and that black coloring in the stamping.
Looking at the touchpad at 4:18 - I almost wonder if it’s just cutouts for circuitry? If they have different suppliers for their touchpad/keyboard combos while using the same frame designs?
I’ll be taking an older but still less than 6 year old MacBook Pro apart soon and I’m going to now look for this and report back one day
And you never did.
he truly never did
You forgot to
I’m wondering if the possible braille is gibberish and is there to annoy anyone who finds it.
5:35 Slight correction, it would be a hexapuss. He a means six. A hectapuss would be a 100 battery setup. :)
To answer your question, Zac - Apple has been doing the sombrero hat trick since at least 2016 revs. I just replaced the battery on my 2017 MBP and it's the same there, too. In fact it's surprising how similar the layout is to the new M1/M2s. It wasn't that way on the previous versions, likely because the PMU had the original magsafe (v. I & II) on a seperate PMU board and not integrated via USB-C/TB ports.
Kudos on the editing, the sound of pull tabs is quite satisfying ! Great video Zack !
Always looking forward to these new products
8:25 - Remember, the laptop is more afraid of you than you are of it! Laptops are not known for their aggressive behavior, despite how wide they are able to open their mouth!
now (after removing the adhesive stripes) the batteries will wobble!
Man even the hardware guts look awesome.
So I heard from a relative of one of Apple’s hardware engineers about all those variety of screws - it seems stupid to have so many different screws all throughout the product, but the reason they do that is because each screw is selected for its thermal transfer properties. All those different screws are why iPhones and MacBooks don’t get hot spots on them while under heavy load like every other phone and laptop do. They’re designed to spread the heat much more evenly across the whole device so they don’t get as hot and are less likely to overheat or fail or lock up.
Zach is great as always, thanks man! Entertaining and useful at the same time

Please do durability test of rog phone 7. I am really interested in buying it and would like to know it's durability.
Big thank you for not scratching the Aluminum Body. We might have different opinions about how good minimalistic designs looks, but it left your hands unharmed, that says something.
I was disappointed.
This is not a durability test.
What does the aluminum body leaving his hands unharmed say?
I was expecting another art lesson from Zach 😞
Must admit the durability tests stops me from watching a lot of his videos.
I greatly prefer the ones where he's building not destroying. Loving the EV Humvee lately :)
@@cyrilthefish Ah, then you should hate the EV Humvee.. since EV's destroy the planet.
Love the multiple glue pulls 😂
The battery using a screw has been since 2016 from what I remember. Although using pull tabs is definitely new since the old ones where held with crazy adhesive with no tabs. If the keyboard needed replaced then the entire top case was replaced battery and all lol
it is new on macbook
my 2018 macbook don't have that
i know it is on ipads
@@tumo07 nah the 2018 had it
@@TacoNissan my mba 2018 still a connector not this pad thingy
Yeah the airs still had the connector. The pros for sure have had the screw thing for some time.
@@Mouseketier85 oh yes the pro has the awfull contact connector
At 6:51 to 7:03 was there a repetition of sentence phrase during your editing Jerry? Or is it me who didn't listen carefully? 🤔
Please make the durability test of the new rog phone 7 ultimate
My Heart stops each time that Jerry Rig knife touches that book.
for real though, honestly suppressed he didn't go ROG phone on this thing, (if you don't know what I'm talking about, he scratched the paint off the ROG phone)
That’s super quality of build. I impressed of how sophisticated the build is. It’s just BEAUTIFUL
but aluminium chassis is trash and not comfortable to users hands, i prefer DELL XPS rubbery finish
@@trader2137 some time before I had Asus laptop with hard and thick polymer case, with some tech that make it feel like metal… was good.
But after using Apple product don’t want to get back to plastic. Metal,leather,wood,rock and glass is materials I enjoy to touch evry time.
@@ProGuitarUA im typing from MBP M1 Pro 16, and i find the aluminium edges are too sharp - like almost razor sharp, and often the aluminium feels cold and dry to the touch, its not comfortable to lay hands on it
Awesome job zack see you around
You should read the braille from the front, not from the back.
9:23 I’ve heard the voice in another language, I don’t know if it’s only on my phone 😂
You make teardown videos incredibly entertaining as well as informative. 🇮🇪👍
video starts at 1:30
I haven’t posted a potato, but I have posted a coconuts a few times, they arrive with no problems.
Asus rog phone 7 please waiting eagerly for its bend test
No it can't outperform other laptops (other than in video editing), look at the benchmarks
Hey oh I know you’re probably not gonna read this comment but I’m curious how much you’re you’re a hummer electric 030 rebuild modifications costed, including look up cost of the Hummer. I’m just curious about Dad. She’s the full price or is that long to AutoZone in one of your videos and natural hummer series on some kind of watching that right now.
Unfortunate auto correct I think what he’s trying to ask me actually, this is how much did did you home or modifications cost in the fall because I’m actually curious about it and I’m wondering how much would it cost for me a child pretty much to build an how many ones I got a cut for 20 bucks for how long do I need to do that? Just do this
Since it is de-bossed reverse the Braille then try to translate it.
Hindi dubbing is Weird. Consider this as a review🙏
Well at least you can say the Macbook pro is very SCREWD UP 😂
Waiting for Asus Rog 7 tear test 😹
Btw, I wanted to buy a dBrand skin as I always do for every laptop I purchase, and I was pleasantly surprised to see your "MBP M2 Teardown Skin Designed By Zack."
Apple hardware is the most beautiful from the inside. 🥺♥️💯
