The Kindle Fire's Guts Dissected is mostly because of battery

The Amazon Kindle Fire is actually a 7 inch tablet with a 1024 x 600 pixel display, a 1 Ghz dual core CPU, and 8GB of storage. But you'll find all that out by seeking at the item listing on Amazon. The folks at iFixit had some slightly tougher-to-answer questions, like: what takes place for those who rip the factors to shreds?

The mad dismantlers at iFixit have their prying hands on the Kindle Fire, which means it's time to rip that factor apart. If the silicon sadist inside you enjoys such things, read on?alots of fairly tablet innards await.

There are not any surprises so far, but the team will not the Fire has a "monstrous" battery, measuring four.6" tall x four.3" wide. That takes up an enormous quantity of room within the 7-inch Kindle's belly, but then once again, it's shown wonderful battery life thus far. What other surprises are going to be revealed? Possibly some other people! We'll update accordingly.

Unsurprisingly, the initial factor you will notice after you pry off the back panel is a quite massive battery. The Kindle Fire has a 4400mAh, 16.28Whr battery which Amazon says ought to present up to 7.5 hours of video playback time.

Though the battery is the dominant feature, there's also a modest system board which houses the 8GB of flash storage, 512MB of DDR2 RAM, WiFi, and audio chips also as other elements. Everything appears to be soldered to the board, so it doesn't appear like it would be quick to upgrade the storage space on the Kindle Fire, which is a shame due to the fact the tablet doesn't have a microSD card slot.
