MacBook Disassembly

A few months ago my MacBook finally died.

I will never buy a Mac again. Although I loved OS X, the hardware is terrible and heavily overpriced. My MacBook had bluetooth adapter and motherboard replacements in the first year of use, and it didn't really help. Then the warranty period was over and I used the all-broken-no-bluetooth-randomly-freezing-hard-drive-randomly-unavailable MacBook for another painful year untill one day the screen went black and never went back...

Here is a slideshow with my little MacBook disassembly project.



A month later I've bought myself a Dell Studio 1537 (with 3GB of RAM, 1440x900 screen and 3 years of warranty).

After installing Ubuntu 9.04 all I missed from MacBook was two finger scroll, which can be easily enabled anyway.

Too bad I'll have to discontinue Hawkscope for Macs, unless someone is willing to join the development and perform the builds. Anyone?
