Google's New Nexus 7 Tablet Already Gets the Teardown Treatment at iFixit labs

[dgstorm]

The folks at iFixit got their hands on one of Google's new Nexus 7 tablets and they did what they do best. They took it apart and photographed its innards in graphic detail. The device garners a "repairability score" of 7 out of 10 from iFixit, which is just one less than the 8 out of 10 that the Kindle Fire received. The techs over there really do an amazing job of walking us through every detail. The pics and descriptions contained within the 21-page guide are both informative and entertaining. Hit up the source link below to see the full dissection.

I thought about posting in the news section but wasn't sure if regular members could.

Hopefully I never need to do this but the option is there just in case.

Whoops very sorry. Please close this one then.

A question that has been asked (but not answered) at iFixit is, if it's this easy to open the Nexus 7, is the memory chip user-replaceable? I suspect that for both space and reliability reasons, it's soldered in, so the answer (for all practical purposes) is probably no. But, hope springs eternal....
