Retina MacBook 2015 Repair

On March 9th, 2015, Apple announced the new Retina MacBook at their unveiling alongside the Apple Watch and was launched on April 10th. The redesigned 2015 MacBook is Apple's latest foray into ultraportable devices. It features a single USB-C port, runs on an Intel Core M processor, and at 13.1mm thick and 2.03 pounds it is thinner and lighter than the MacBook Air. The 2015 Retina MacBook had a new unibody construction and includes an updated trackpad, keyboard, and Retina display.

Available in three colors—silver, space grey, and gold—the new MacBook has a whole host of upgrades. It uses the a Force Touch trackpad—which Apple unveiled in their 13" MacBook Pro earlier this year—as well as a fully redesigned keyboard and a thinner 12-inch Retina display. The 39.7-watt-hour battery delivers up to 9 hours of web browsing and can be charged through the USB-C port.
