We begin removing the titular update to this Mini: the Retina Display.

All the pixels in the world couldn't keep our Pro Tech Screwdriver Set at bay.

Powering all those extra pixels comes at the price of 0.3 mm of added thickness in comparison to last year's Mini.

It just so happens that an extra 0.3 mm is also the difference between an iPad and the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9", which, at just 7.8 mm thick, features an incredibly easy opening procedure, and a repairability score of 7 out of 10.
