MacBook Neo earns 6/10 repairability score from iFixit

iFixit gave the MacBook Neo a 6/10 repairability score, the best result for an Apple laptop in 14 years. The battery is held by 18 screws instead of glue and there is no parts pairing for the display, battery and Touch ID, though RAM and storage remain soldered.

• iFixit score of 6/10 beats MacBook Pro 14 (M5) at 4/10 and MacBook Air 13 (M4) at 5/10
• Battery is secured by 18 screws rather than glue and is easy to replace
• Apple charges $149 for battery service; DIY kit costs $111.75 with trade-in
• RAM and storage are still soldered, so upgrades are impossible
