New Mac mini scores 6 out of 10 on iFixit

And is that a few hours ago we had the publication of iFixit with the breakdown of the new MacBook Air and now we have the new Mac mini completely disassembled. From this team we already knew before the breakdown carried out by the iFixit guys that the RAM could be changed by the user without too much complication and now with the whole team exposed we find other types of details as interesting as the SSD of the new computer is soldered on the board and therefore it is almost impossible that we can replace it at home. But let's see the rest of the details of this Mac mini that has achieved a good grade in terms of possible repairs that we have to make in the future, 6 out of 10.

Easy to repair considering current Apple equipment

If we focus on the grade obtained by this new Mac mini on iFixit, we will realize that we are facing something really good for those who decide to buy it and that is that most of its components can be easily disassembled to replace them.

The best thing about the Mac mini is what we already discussed with the possibility of increasing the RAM yourselfThis is confirmed in the exploded view and it is also confirmed that the SSD disk is soldered on the board, which we do not like so much. Also as a curious fact we can say that this Mac mini scores the same on iFixit which the previous 2014 Mac mini model, 6 out of 10.

Also highlight that from iFixit they highlight the little adhesive that is added to the equipment and that this obviously helps disassembly. The ports that this equipment has are soldered to the board, so in case we have problems with any of them, it will be necessary to change the board and this is a negative point. But in general we can say that this Mac mini performs quite well and in case of having a problem it would not be so difficult to solve it. You can find the complete breakdown on the iFixit website.
