I am looking a purchasing a refurbished Macbook Pro with a 13 inch display. I understand that Apple is making it more difficult to fix things DIY. Any suggestions on what is the newest model that is still easy to fix on your own?
The machines before the advent of the Retinas (i.e. about mid 2012) are much more repairable. Screens can be fixed, hard drives replaced, no glued in batteries, RAM upgradeable. I personally like the 2012 non-retinas, both in the 13" & 15".
