iFixit disembowels the MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo

It used to be that whenever a new piece of Apple hardware came out I'd be one of the first kids on the block to have taken it apart just for sport. I'm older now, busier, more tired and my eye sight ain't what it used to be, so these days I tend to leave all those tiny screws to someone else to matrix. Fortunately, iFixIt has been quick to the punch when it comes to disassembling all the latest Apple toys, and they're kind enough to share the pics and the process with the rest of us for free.
If you're contemplating taking your own MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo apart for any reason and need a little guidance, curious about how the internals compare with the previous MacBook Pro (not much, it turns out, soldered Merom chip aside) or you just really love circuit board porn, check out iFixIt's First Look inside the Core 2 Duo MBP for high-res pics and details.

Pedro - believe it or not, I actually wrote that in my first draft but figured most of you would just think it was a lazy typo instead of a deliberately bad pun :)
