    • Some interesting design choices made here. A full size CMOS battery

    • The wifi wiring runs underneath the large speaker

    • The power button is attached to a ultra flat cable that runs in an arc along the heatsink

    • After taking out the power supply we are left with an empty shell

    • I really enjoyed taking this mini apart. My verdict is it's much easier than the 2014 model as cables are in a more logical place

What happens to the machine if the SSD fails? Will the entire logic board need to be replaced? I have a feeling that the chances of SSD failing would be significantly higher than Ram… So shouldn’t apple make SSD removable as well?

Sam - 回复

Failing SSD means a failing motherboard. In my experience, apple ssd-s are very reliable. Upgradable memory allows you to use a device longer. If you configure it with 16GB today, you might want to max out the memory in the future, once prices go down.

What about the CPU, is it in a socket or soldered in?

Steve Seg - 回复

I didn’t have the courage to take the heatsink off. So we’ll have to wait for someone who does.

Mich würde interessieren, wie die CMOS Batterie getauscht wird, bzw. welcher Typ es ist.
