Notable design elements, as listed by the team at iFixit, include the Mini's unibody enclosure, which has been machined from a single block of aluminum, and the dimentions. In the box, Apple’s new mini comes with the HDMI to DVI adapter and a power cord, since this model has a built-in AC adapter. The teardown begins with a few notable tech specs, which include a 2.4 or 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor 2 GB of RAM (expandable up to 8 GB) an NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor with 256MB of shared DDR3 SDRAM (with iFixit noting it is the same as in the most recent MacBook) an HDMI port with support for up to 1920-by-1200 resolution AirPort Extreme 802.11n Wi-Fi wireless networking and an SD card slot. In what the repair shop calls a “historic moment,” Apple’s new Mac mini saw its guts ripped out of the 1.4 x 7.7 x 7.7 aluminum housing, complete with useful explanations every step of the way.Īlthough it looks fairly easy to open up the mini and remove its inner workings, iFixit notes that, “Teardowns provide a look inside a device and should not be used as disassembly instructions.” The repair shop then invites visitors to join them as they “take a peek inside at Apple's newest revision of the Mac Mini, now with an HDMI port!” A new Apple product emerges, a new teardown session is carried out over at iFixit.
