In order to ensure that its latest M4 Mac mini has become much smaller than the previous generation model, has to adopt some "magical" engineering technology.Looking closely at this small machine, we will find that many changes have occurred inside, and the improved cooling solution can make this redesigned computer show low temperature while showing off a smaller volume.
One of the host of the youTube channel "Max Tech", when disassembling the black panel at the bottom of the MAC mini bottom, it tasted the suffering.Excited, the part was broken.In any case, this setback did not stop the content creator from entering the inside of the fuselage. He noticed that there were multiple small holes on a circular disc, which could guide the hot and cold air to enter from the same path. This is a clever one.Engineering technology.We can also see some antennas that help enhance Wi-Fi and Bluetooth signals.
M4 Mac mini is also equipped with a smaller auxiliary motherboard, which has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips, and a spiral heat sink.Connected to a thermal pipe, but a large metal board.With this configuration, coupled with the efficiency of M4, Mac Mini defeated the MacBook Pro using the same SOC in the Premiere Pro 4K Export test, and also provided a considerable game in "Death Strait" under the "high" settings.Experience.
A major change that surprised us is that the M4 Mac mini is equipped with users to insert storage devices, but the form of slotting seems to be the form of slot grooves.Not common, this is not surprising, because Apple has also adopted this method in different products.However, the 256GB storage module does not use one but two 128GB NAND chips, which allows M4 Mac Mini to get higher read and write speed.Although the disassembling heat sink needs to enter the other side of the machine, the two port 4 ports facing the front of the front can be unscrewed with screws, bringing another layer of convenience.
The entire PCB adopts mezzanine design, so that Apple can save internal space, which greatly reduces the volume of M4 Mac mini.The basic configuration model that reduces the size, the basic configuration model of the 16GB unified memory, and 256GB storage space for it is only $ 599.
