[CNMO Technology News] On November 13, CNMO noticed that the well-known foreign dismantling website IFIXIT disassembled New M4 Mac mini.
IfIxit said that compared with the previous generation Mac mini, the internal components of the M4 model are more compact and the space utilization rate is extremely high. This is also this. Apple can greatly reduce the key to equipment volume.The size of the M4 Mac mini has been reduced to 5X5 inches. Compared with the previous 7.5X7.5 inches, this change is particularly significant.
The power supply module uses a circuit board design across the top of the chassis. This design has previously applied on HomePod.Because the power supply usually occupies a large space, Apple has successfully reduced the volume through this design, while ensuring that the performance is not affected.
In the middle of Mac mini, a fan is equipped with a redemption of a redesigned thermal management system to inhale the air from the environment. Each layer of Mac mini is circulated and finally discharged from the bottom.Because the M4 Pro version of the Mac mini requires a stronger heat dissipation ability, Apple is equipped with a larger copper heat sink than the standard M4 Mac mini.
The storage module of the known Mac mini is upgraded, and iFixit has also confirmed this through actual operation.They replaced the SSD in a 512GB SSD M4 Mac Mini into a 256GB SSD M4 Mac mini and successfully completed the replacement.
However, it should be noted that the NAND modules used by M4 and M4 Pro Mac MINI are not physical in physical, ifixit cannot make M4 M4 SSD is used in M4 Pro Mac mini.Therefore, users who plan to replace their own storage need to ensure SSD suitable for its equipment.Mac minis RAM is closely concentrated with the M4 chip, which cannot be upgraded after purchasing, and ports are also welded, which may increase the difficulty of replacement.
IfIxit also found that other components of Mac mini are relatively simple, and given 7 points (full score) maintenance scores EssenceThis is good for easy -to -disassembly components, replaceable SSDs, and detailed maintenance manuals provided by Apple.IFIXIT said that users can use M4 Mac mini for ten years.
