With reasonable room to work inside, Apple’s engineers could fit in smarter battery adhesive, easier display connections, and oh so much silicon. But tearing down the 14-inch and 16-inch models, there were quite a few changes inside, too.

There’s a lot to celebrate on the outside of the newest MacBook Pro models, like the return of reasonable ports and MagSafe power.
