iFixit MacBook Pro 15-inch Teardown: Fast RAM, Additional Antenna, Excess Thermal Paste

Apple’s refreshed MacBook Pro line introduced a number of new and updated components. Thunderbolt (Intel’s “Light Peak” ) pushes the I/O envelope providing 10 Gbits (as in gigabits) and is backwards compatible with the Mini Display Support. Up to six devices can be chained to the Thunderbolt port. The quad-core i7 processor in the 15 and 17-inch models and HD FaceTime “webcam” round out some of the exciting new features.
