Teardown on the brand new Apple M2 Mac Mini. Base Model 8GB Ram 256GB SSD.
CORRECTION! To the right of the M2 is 2X SK Hynix H58G56AK6HX052 4 GB LPDDR5 SDRAM memory. There is only one single NAND chip for storage.
BASE M2 Mac Mini –
Tools required for disassembly:
TR6 Torx
T5 Torx
T9 Torx
Here’s a compatible toolset: https://amzn.to/403qV11 (It contains all 3 drivers even though it says it’s for 2018 models)
Hi, Is the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Card removable/replaceable on the M1/M2 Mac Mini?
Always wondered, if I could make a "extension" for an Ipad pro, with reworking and rehousing an M2 MAC MINI with a Pro chip, and give it extra computing power when needed with the usage of Mac Apps and MacOS.
oh well.
Wow! There is a lot of space to add multiple nvme slots. But NO, apple gotta earn bro
Apple build Quality is top notch. on the other hand Intel NUC piece of shit with cheap plastic housing!
Wow! That machine is incredible and very compact for its power! And great video, I love the 4K quality and step-by-step teardown!
thank you for doing the tear down of the mac mini.. Outstanding work
I like the build quality of Apple…
Can u upgrade ram on mac mini m2, 8g to 16g
Commercials make your video impossible to watch
awesome teardown.
FINE. THANKS
Compny should realy need to give space to upgrade. Like RAM and SSD
Great teardown thanks 👌
i beg apple to make it half of the current size
I'm new, is the mac mini m2 with 16GB and 512 useful storage space for games? If you have any advice, listen.
Bro i do y look ram ?
Nice.
Hi Brandon,
I’ve got a new M2 Pro Mac mini. Recently, I had to connect to my old LaCie Rugged HDDs with Micro B USB to USB C cable. That LaCie cable is extremely stiff on USB C and doesn’t click. Do you think Mac mini’s ports can withstand tough insertion? Or is it even ok? Thanks!
will I be able to upgrade the RAM ?
Do we need to buy a UPS or maybe surge protector considering how small the psu is? For my desktop pc i just plug it straight to the wall without problems for years bc i trust the psu capability and features.
wait where is the ram stick
8gb Ram and 256gb storage in 2023… WTF.
Mac mini M2 is console gaming por Apple Future
Amazing work by you. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity.
This is a very nice tear down video! Thanks a bunch. I did notice you identified two chips on the board as Solid State "Drives", The two chips on the side of the M2 chip are the Dynamic RAM modules, not the solid state drives you mentioned. I believe The storage chip(s) has/have also been soldered on the board. The two chips mounted to the board near the I/O panel look suspiciously like 128GB solid state chips. Alternatively, Apple could have used a single 256GB chip, which the square chip to the top right could be. Also, another technical detail to note is the Hard Drive does not exist on the inside of the South Bridge, The DRAM and PCI-E are the only communicants at that point. Since PCI-Express is on the North of the South Bridge and South of the North Bridge, it is called Express. Since the DRAM is shared by the CPU and the GPU, the Graphics RAM and the Compute RAM are the same chips, The GPU is on the north bridge and the Unified Memory is the only thing between the North and South bridges.
aduh…. dibongkar
Brandon Geekabit: if you get the 1TB drive, what is the NAND count?
If you get 16gb does it have 4 4gb scram chips or 2 8gb?
If you get 32 GB what is the chip configuration?
Nope, not SSDs.
An expensive rip off that should be less than half the price. Not knocking the power or quality. But it's totally ungradable
e-waste brought to you by apple
This will be a throw away hardware. Nill upgreadablility.
Is that BCM57762 chip a BT/WIFI combo?
One piece
7:10 it is RAM, SSD is the silver one, outside EMI shield
Your mic not so good
fantastic 😍😍😍
I do like it but it’s 2023- it should have 16gbs of Ram and 512gbs of SSD by default.
i surprised to see that apple has not try to implement their proprietary phone charging port into their PCs or " Macs" its still a pc
Glad you did size comparison in the end, as I was curious on how much that board is bigger than RPi4 board
500$ good for this device 👌
求中文字幕
i give you thumbs up!
Buy a microphone
Apple should include an extra ssd slot, that'd be super useful.
At 3:25 you can see that he turned off the power only after he unscrewed the main board and then cut everything off at the installation as if he had done everything right
6:49 «еee crap! so we pretend that everything is as it should be ..» 7:57 «shit! again! just ignore it. no one will notice.. everything is good..»😂
