The new Mac mini is one of Apple's best surprises of the year. Presented on October 29, it uses the M4 or M4 Pro chips, which significantly boost power compared to the previous version. But in addition to that, Apple has revised the design of the Mac mini to offer a more compact case. This one has a square format of 12.7 cm on each side and according to Apple, compared to the previous model, the new Mac mini occupies 50% less space.

Here is the inside of the new Mac mini

“It owes its ultra-compact format to the incredible energy efficiency of Apple chips and an innovative thermal architecture, which directs air to different levels of the system and which passes all the ventilation through the base”, explained the Cupertino company. And it didn't take long for this new Mac mini to be given a proper teardown.

In a recently published video, YouTube channel Brandon Geekabit shares a teardown of the new Mac mini, in order to give us a clearer idea of ​​how Apple went about miniaturizing this computer. This teardown allows us to discover the elements that make up Apple's new cooling system, and to observe the M4 chip. Otherwise, as the YouTuber explains, the power supply takes up almost as much space as the computer itself. And besides, if Apple wanted to miniaturize its Mac mini even more, it could do so by using an external power supply. Otherwise, as our colleagues at iPhon.fr explain, if the RAM memory is not removable, the SSD is removable.
