I am really digging my MacBook, so you know I won't be ripping it apart any time soon (though I will be installing a couple of gigs of RAM soon). The folks at Fixit have no such reservations about ripping apart their MacBook and they even took pictures.To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.

Sweet article, but I definitely cant see my MBP coming apart anytime to for the sake of research.

Seems they are having some problems with their site. I'm getting a mysql error when I hit the link. Darn, I like seeing nekkid 'puters.

We're actually iFixit :-)
The site is up and running great. We've been getting a lot of positive feedback on this Guide. The MacBook was really a joy to take apart. People are going to be hanging onto these machines for a long time. I expect to see a big bump in SATA drive sales, too.

I actually read through the other day. Am I right in thinking the 17" is exactly the same ?.

Man, the inner design is really cool. If you take out the superdrive you could get a really *really* small laptop.
Any bets on a "Macbook mini" next year?

Did any one notice that the MacBook had the correct amount of thermal paste applied?

Question time: is the CPU / GPU replaceble?

EricBunny-
I'd say no. From the pictures, it doesn't appear that the cpu is socketed. You'd have to do quite a bit of (un)soldiering to get the job done. Bummer =(
