iFixit's PROLED MacBook Pro Teardown Reveals Logo LEDs


iFixit today took apart Apple's touchscreen PROLED MacBook Pro to see how Apple shed weight, what powers the logo, and how it compares to the 14-inch M6 ‌MacBook Pro‌.


Apple added a glowing logo on the back of the PROLED ‌MacBook Pro‌, but since there's no backlight to illuminate it, Apple used four LEDs, a reflective layer, and a diffuser to create an even glow. When the light is off, the logo's two-way mirror coating gives it a shiny finish.

Getting to the logo for repairs isn't easy because it's behind the display, so if it breaks, the only repair option is removing the screen. iFixit ended up breaking the panel because the glass separated from the layers underneath, destroying the OLED.

Apple says the PROLED ‌MacBook Pro‌ has a hinge designed for touch, but iFixit said it's basically identical to the M6 ‌MacBook Pro‌'s hinge, just stiffer, so it better holds its angle when the display is tapped at the top.

The Thunderbolt/USB-C ports and fans are replaceable, but the logic board has to come out. The HDMI port and SDXC card slot are soldered to the logic board, so they're not as easily replaced. The SSD and memory are also soldered.

iFixit swapped logic boards between two PROLED ‌MacBook Pro‌ models, and after running Repair Assistant, all of the components worked, including the touchscreen and Touch ID. iFixit said the touchscreen didn't add any new parts pairing problems.

The PROLED ‌MacBook Pro‌'s trackpad is a little bit smaller than the M6 model's, and weight was shed by removing some aluminum from the lower chassis. The lower case weighs 364 grams vs. 456 grams for the M6 model. The display assembly is 101 grams lighter despite the touchscreen and the glowing Apple logo, and the battery is two grams lighter too.

The PROLED ‌MacBook Pro‌ earned a repairability score of 5 out of 10, which is a point higher than the M5 ‌MacBook Pro‌ and a point below the MacBook Neo.

Adobe Photoshop 25.5 - Professional image editor.




You can download Adobe Photoshop as a part of Creative Cloud for only $54.99/month

Adobe Photoshop is a recognized classic of photo-enhancing software. It offers a broad spectrum of tools that can turn your inspiration into incredible images, photos, composites, 3D artwork, paintings, and graphics on any device.

Photoshop has become the choice of thousands of creative professionals around the world. First introduced in 1988, it still is the world's leading image-editing software.

Intuitive and clean user interface

Although Photoshop for Mac is the most comprehensive graphics and image-editing software available in the market today, it has a very intuitive and easy-to-navigate interface.

With recently improved usability, this photo-editor has become even more enjoyable to use. The interface loads as soon as you decide to use Photoshop.

A user-friendly interface updates you about new features, suggests learning content, and allows you to quickly access recent files. You can easily pick up where you left or create a new project, access cloud and desktop pictures, and open an existing document.

Convenient content-aware fill workspace

Adobe has recently announced the launch of its new Content-Aware Fill workspace. It allows you to remove objects or distracting elements from your images easier than ever before.

This new option offers an interactive editing experience. Now, you can take full Control over which "good" parts of the picture to use to replace the undesired areas. It allows resizing the initial selection, rotating, scaling, and mirroring content.

Enjoy a range of new tools

The latest version of the software provides a new Frame Tool that allows you to enjoy much simpler masking. Now, you can place shapes and text into placeholder frames and fill them with pictures. To create elliptical or rectangular forms, you only need to select the Frame Tool and press "K."

There is also a new default feature of multiple undo. If you want to view an object before changes are applied, just click Control + Z (for Windows OS) and Command + Z (for macOS). Don't worry about losing any project changes in Adobe Photoshop on your MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. With a new auto-commit feature, they are saved automatically.

What's new in Photoshop

Version 21.2:
  • In the latest version, you can make accurate selections of people with one click.
  • Now, Adobe Photoshop can find and add all available fonts to your libraries automatically when you open a project.
  • In updated Photoshop, Adobe Camera Raw workspace provides all your tools right where you need them so that you can work on your project more efficiently.
  • You can experience higher accuracy with the enhanced Match Font feature that allows vertical text, provides multiple-line detection and offers even more typefaces.
  • Now, you can change the orientation and add a rotation to any pattern in Pattern Overlays and Pattern Fill layers much more easily than before.


  • Create and save your presets for future use or import and export to share inspiration.
  • You can now adjust text alignment, spacing (leading and kerning), and font style (bolding, italicizing, underlining) directly from the Contextual Task Bar.


  • 8 GB RAM (16 GB recommended)
  • 4 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
  • Internet connection
