The dismantling process of the Mac Mini 2018 reveals important details about its internal components.

Tuesday, November 13, 2018 20:45 Economics We know that Apple computers are easily reformable. This is one of the main criticisms made by Apple in the past, especially since the company tends to officially repair its machines for a high fee. However, in the case of the recently launched Mac Mini 2018, it was not difficult to repair it, unlike some other business computers.

According to iFixit, a hardware disassembler to gauge its ease of repair, it has awarded the new Mac Mini 2018 the 6 out of 10. The IFixit Repair Index relies on an indicator of 1 to 10 to measure the difficulty repair of the equipment. And note 10 the ease of repair. Disassembly revealed that Apple had not used any strong adhesive ingredients, which meant that the removal of some components should not be difficult. For example, iPhones usually contain a strong adhesive in the battery, making it difficult to replace.

The disassembly process also revealed to us that Apple had decided to use common tools, which means that no special tools would be needed to separate the components of the device. There are also SO-DIMM modules, which means that users can easily replace or upgrade the RAM on their computer without having to pay for the Apple upgrade.

However, during the disassembly process, it was discovered that the processor and internal memory were integrated into the motherboard, which means that it is impossible to upgrade these components. Other ports are connected to the motherboard, which means that the damaged port will require a full motherboard switch, which can be very expensive.
