Since practically the launch of the new Mac mini 2018, we have known that the RAM memory modules of the computer can be replaced easily by the user. This allows the user who has this equipment or is going to buy the new Mac mini to choose the equipment with less RAM and then add it at home at a much more affordable price than Apple. About this iFixit knows a lot and in addition to showing us the steps to completely disassemble the equipment or even to change the memory modules ourselves, now they already have their own toolkit and memory available.
Follow in his footsteps and increase RAM whenever we want
Many users and media say that the RAM that Apple adds is better than the RAM that we can get from third-party stores, we do not question this but the price of Apple RAM modules are really expensive And so the advice is that we update the equipment ourselves with third-party modules.
iFixit has everything you need in this tool kit and memory so that you can change the RAM of the computer yourself following the amount of tutorials we have available to do it. Actually the expansion kit offered by iFixit is not cheaper than buying only the modules compatible with the Mac mini, but this add the tools and everything you need to make the change successful and smooth. These are the prices:
- The 16GB RAM kit consisting of a 16GB module is priced at $ 164.99
- The 32GB RAM kit consisting of two 16GB modules is priced at $ 324.99
Obviously all this with the tools for the process. At the moment the new kit can be found in iFixit's own website but the 32GB RAM one is temporarily out of stock (at least at the time of writing) so it may be released later or it may have been a top seller. On the other hand, this process of adding RAM can be complicated for some people, so if you are not sure how to do it or you simply do not want to break anything, the best option is go for the Mac mini with more RAM of origin or take our equipment to an authorized SAT to make the application.
