Apple: MacBook/Pro teardowns

iFixit has a great page showing a teardown of the new MacBook and MacBook Pro for those of us who actually and unfortunately know what the inside of a notebook should look like.

The big win? Hard drive replacement is MUCH easier on the new MacBooks Pros!

The WTF moment? Neither a DisplayPort to VGA or DisplayPort to DVI adapter is included with your $2000+ computer. It's a $29 option from Apple. I have yet to see 3rd party alternatives, but no doubt they're coming, and for a fraction of that price. (Yeah, I know DisplayPort is the New Hotness, but there aren't any monitors for it yet...)
