i cant find this anywhere...


when replacing the keyboard (say because there is a broken key or something) does the little keyboard just pop out like before? or (or which i think i heard) you have to replace the entire underneath panel which incluedes the trackpad click and everything?

You don't have to replace the whole top. You have to take it off in order to remove the keyboard tho.

Well, depends on what's wrong with the key... you can just replace that key pretty easily.

take it to an apple store, they usually have tons of spare keys that they will swap out for you.
