Logitech Revue teardown reveals the inevitable

It’s not so much a rite of passage, now, but an honor to be considered geekily-cool enough to be subject to an iFixit teardown, and latest to splay its circuits across the test bench is the Logitech Revue. �The standalone Google TV STB has given up its secrets quite readily, with plenty of standard Phillips-head screws and generally standard connectors.

We say secrets, but it’s not like we’ve not seen what’s going on inside the Revue before. �The STB passed through the FCC a few months back, giving us a glimpse of the nettop-style guts provided by Gigabyte. �It’s all based around Intel’s CE4150 1.2GHz processor, but otherwise is basically a regular nettop with some home entertainment-friendly connectors.

Overall, iFixit give the Revue 8 out of 10 for repair-friendliness, though the fact that all the main components are fixed to the one motherboard – and thus can’t be individually replaced – gets a thumbs-down. �More hardware details and photos over at iFixit.
