MacBook Air 2013 Teardown: So Much Battery

12 hours of battery life on the 2013 MacBook Air is simply ridiculous (though it’s also sort of ridiculous that it’s ridiculous). iFixit’s task force took apart this year’s MBA, which is pretty identical to last year’s MBA, to see what’s new and how it can squeeze so much juice.
