iFixit has posted its teardown of the new 15-inch M2 MacBook Air.

The M2 MacBook Air has grown up and has a 15" summer bod to show off, with a hefty 22% more bulk, 26% more pixels, and a mere .2 mm increase in thickness. No butterfly keyboard, extra speakers, huge trackpad, and all-day battery life—plus speedy charging with a 65 W adapter—and you're ready for a day at the beach. But sand, as we all know, is rough, irritating, and it gets everywhere—so let's see just how repairable the MacBook Air 15" truly is.

iFixit gives the new laptop a Repairability Score of just 3 out of 10, noting that Apple could earn up to 2 additional points for providing parts and manuals.

The 15-inch M2 MacBook Air starts at $1299; however, Amazon is currently discounting it for $100 off, bringing its price down to $1199.
