Apple's 2024 Mac Mini: Modular Design and Price Cuts Highlight Launch
TL;DR Summary
Apple's 2024 Mac Mini features a more repairable design with replaceable storage, as revealed by iFixit's teardown. The new model, equipped with M4 or M4 Pro chips, allows for SSD upgrades, although the RAM remains soldered. Despite the proprietary format of the SSD, this marks an improvement in repairability, earning a provisional score of 7 out of 10 from iFixit. The move towards modularity is seen as a positive step, though further improvements, like upgradeable RAM, are desired.
