|---|---|
| + | [* black] The MacBook Air with Retina Display 2018 earns a ***3 out of 10*** on our repairability scale (10 is the easiest to repair): |
| + | [* green] Many components are modular and straightforward to access—including the ports, fan, and speakers. |
| + | [* yellow] Apart from the pesky pentalobe screws, this laptop opens about as easily as any. |
| + | [* yellow] The battery is secured with a combination of screws and repair-friendly stretch-release adhesive—but you'll have to remove the logic board and speakers for access. |
| + | [* red] The keyboard is integrated into the top case, requiring a full teardown for service. |
| + | [* red] Soldered, non-serviceable, non-upgradeable storage and RAM is a serious bummer on a $1,200+ laptop. |
