iFixit.com – Know what is inside your MacBook, iPod and iPhone, well explained with pictures.

One of the few disadvantages of Apple products is that it’s tough to upgrade by yourself. If you can dole out those $$$ to Apple Store then it’s a whole different story, but most of us can’t afford to do it for simple upgrades and fixes.

Obviously we don’t want to take the risk of opening up the product without knowing where and how those parts are organized. Honestly, I wanted to upgrade memory on my MacBook lately but since I wasn’t sure where and how to locate the memory compartment I was slacking on it for a while now.

Well, it looks like the wait might be over. iFixit.com is a simple website for Mac and iPod parts and upgrades.

They sell parts for your MacBooks and iPods and that’s their survival I guess, but they have an excellent Teardown section which is like an excellent guide to looking into those Apple products without taking the risk of damaging it by exploring it yourself.

The quality of the teardowns are just great. Each step is explained with multiple pictures and an explanation. The pictures are as clear as it is supposed to be and each and every step is well documented to boost your confidence that you can do this.

iFixit.com has become THE SITE that I go for if I run into any hardware issues with my MacBooks, iPods or iPhones if I’m out of warranty and don’t want to dole out those $$$ to Apple Care. I hope you like it too and I hope you find it handy when in need (of course, I wish that need never comes).
