The cool cats of iFixit have completed a full teardown of the new 2019 Mac Pro desktop, the teardown highlighting its ease of access to various components as needed.
The case quickly lifts off with no proprietary screws or adhesive. Upon removal, power to the machine is cut off for safety.
iFixit also noted that the RAM can be easily replaced via a process that requires no tools. Additionally, the repair firm praises the handy diagram that showcases which DIMM slots can be populated with different amounts of memory.
Inside the machine, it turns out many of the parts are labeled with numbers, indicating in what order they should be repaired.
iFixit awarded the 2019 Mac Pro a 9 out of 10 for a repairability score. A number of repairs and upgrades don’t require any tools, while other repairs can be effected with only a basic repair kit at hand.
The only major deduction to the repair score came with the solid-state drives. The SSD are slotted and modular, but they’re also linked to the T2 security chip. In the event an Apple-provided SSD needs to be removed and replaced, users need to get it done at an Apple Authorized Service Provider.
The 2019 Mac Pro start at $5,999 and can climb up to $53,000 in terms of which options and upgrades are chosen.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
