So, finally a thread without whining about pricing, touch bar, lack of innovations & ports and how Apple ruined everything again.

There're no more screws to hold a heatsink. Are they on the other side of the logic board? Or maybe it's now attached using thermal glue?

Guess we will see when iFixit breaks one down, conventional wisdom lends towards fasters on the rear of the board. Then again this is Apple...

There is 4 pins/mounts around the CPU/heatsink area, I wonder if Apple is using a combination of thermal adhesive and pressure from the base plate to retain the heatsink?

Yeah maybe it's glue! Apple ruined everything again!
