Yes, people, this is the iFixit teardown of a Blendtec Total blender—the one from those Will It Blend? videos that we basically stopped writing about sometime in early 2007. It's nice to see you again, Tom.

The innards on display here are decidedly cruder than the carefully-designed gadget guts typical to these kinds of teardowns, which makes sense: this isn't a pocket-sized piece of painstaking industrial design, this is a commercial grade blender. It transcends gadgetry by powderizing it, or something!

And even though the blender is clearly unplugged and, er, disarmed, the whole thing feels like a higher-stakes affair than usual. Maybe it's the 1500W+ motor, or the 28,000 RPM rotor, or, you know, the blades. [iFixit]

• You can dissect the Go with a standard Phillips #0
• Sony still uses 802.11b Wi-Fi
• Battery not soldered to board
• No metal framework (the structural integrity relies on outer plastic shell)
• Sony processor, Samsung's 16GB of flash storage (in case you cared)

Even though iFixit is pretty positive you can slide the battery out and leave the sticker intact, it's pretty lousy for Sony to hide a component that will need not-so eventual replacing under a warranty-voiding seal. Also, the lack of an internal framework (or much real metal) matches our impressions of the Go's somewhat flimsy, plastic feel.

Couple these two points and add a sliding mechanism, and it's hard to imagine how well a Go will hold up two to three years down the line. Then again, Sony is probably banking on you replacing the Go with another new product by then anyway, just like every other CE company. [iFixit]

The Adamo seems pretty well built, using actual metal hinges to attach the screen to the rest of the laptop, however the lack of an integrated DVI and un-replaceable RAM seem lamentable. But check it out for yourself, and be sure to grab more images over at [TechRepublic].

This teardown is a little different than most, mainly because of just how simple this device is; once it was cracked open, there was one screw to worry about. The pictures tell the story here, so check out the gallery below or the whole gruesome ordeal at [iFixit—Thanks, Jivesh!]

MacBook above.

• The optical drive is identical in the MB and MBP, and it's SATA
• MBP RAM isn't tough to replace, but hard drive requires a Torx screwdriver
• The keyboards can be user-serviced, but require removing 56 screws first
• "Unibody" construction is "elegant"
• "The new MacBook is really a 13" MacBook Pro. It uses the same design, and same manufacturing quality"

Read the full play-by-play over at ifixit. And be glad that isn't your computer that they ripped apart...or was it? [ifixit]

Such a tease....

OK, scratch that, we're actually getting a bit nauseous.
Phew, it's not a bleeder. Apparently this is the top/display unit.

And the glass is no longer glued to the display (which means easier repairs, ifixit points out...plug plug).
My favorite part of this shot: The "Do Not Remove" sticker. UPDATE! It appears ifixit is going to remove it! If we're all sucked into a black hole, Brian Lam, we made eye contact once over dinner and I thought there might be something more there but wasn't sure.

UPDATE 2: OK, I think they were just joking about removing the sticker for the time being. You know, like I was joking about that whole Lam dinner thing.

The battery is not soldered on.

Here's the heart (logic board) of the iPhone 3G. According to ifix, Intel NOR flash on the top left, Skyworks power management on the top right.
Here's the second half of the logic board. It's pretty easy to spot the massive Apple-branded processor.
And we are left with only an empty shell...consumerism sheds a tear.

Pending any other massive discoveries, we think we've seen enough iPhone 3G anatomy to curb the craving. Head on over to ifixit for more updates. [ifixit]

The 80GB classic has a 3mm-thinner hard drive than its predecessor, the iPod video, and there was a metal plate inside which, iFixit speculated, was probably to give an extra layer of support to the display. While the battery inside the classic is identical to the 30GB iPod video, the plastic tabs of the earlier model have been replaced by metal ones, making the case much harder to open. Gah!

What sets the new nano aside from the earlier models is, apparently, adhesive. Nothing but strong glue is used to keep the wheel in place, which means that it's harder to put back together again once you take it apart (this was not a problem for the iFixit gang, however.) The battery is, like the second-gen nano, attached to the logic board by three through-hole solder-points, and for the headphone jack, they have gone back to how it was on the first-gen model and soldered it to the logic board.
