From iFixit,
- The SSD is replaceable.
- The battery is not soldered to the motherboard, but very strong adhesive makes removal and replacement a hazardous chore.

- The display removal procedure, while difficult, and required for any repair, is not as hard as in previous generations, due to less stubborn adhesive.
- The display assembly consists of a fused glass panel and LCD, and is difficult to remove and replace.
