To our dismay, we must break out our trusty heat gun and guitar picks to get past the adhesive holding down the glass and LCD. Hackers, tinkerers, and repairers be forewarned: get last year's model if you'd like to alter your machine in any way. Consequently, this year's unit received a super-sad 3 out of 10 repairability score, down from a healthy 7 on last year's unit. Once inside, folks can still replace the RAM, hard drive, and CPU, but they'll have to remove the entire logic board before doing so - everything is located on the back of the board, nooked right into the iMac's slim frame. We don't want to be sad Eeyores through this entire press release, but unfortunately the bad news doesn't stop there.
