New MacBook Pro Has Battery Pull Tabs for Easier Replacement [Images]

Apple’s new MacBook Pros have pull tabs on the battery for easier replacement, reports iFixit in the teaser of their upcoming teardown.

Normally we get to the battery last because, well, they suck to remove. But as we peer into the guts, we notice something we haven’t seen in a long time in a MacBook Pro, three words that make our hair stand on end: battery pull tabs. Even better, it appears the battery isn’t trapped under the logic board. That could mean battery swaps without removing all the brains first—a procedure we’ve been dreaming about for a while.
