  • Can you upgrade the RAM, CPU, and SSD in the 2018 Mac mini?
    iFixit ProTech Toolkit - ifixit.com/snazzylabs
    After 4 years of waiting, Apple updated the Mac mini at long last. Is the new model better than the previous Mac mini? How is the internal design-and most importantly-is the cooling assembly good enough to handle the workload you're going to send it or are you going to need thermal paste? Liquid metal? Find all this and more in this Snazzy Labs exclusive Mac mini teardown and RAM replacement tutorial.

    Get stoked for this next week of videos! On Monday, I have an "Ultimate MacBook Showdown" in between the 13" MacBook Pro, 13" MacBook Air, and 12" MacBook. Which one is best for you? Find out soon. Then, get excited for Mac mini benchmarking (hackintosh comparison perhaps 😏) and my thoughts on iPad Pro! Thanks for your continued support. You are all hyper SNAZZY!

    We all forgetting that Snazzy predicted the Pro Display...

    This is what happens when you are a Mac and PC guy. You tinker with what isn’t supposed to be tinkered with. Love it!

    Can we take a moment on admiring how beautiful the internal components are? Those grill holes that forms a circle around the Wi-Fi antenna is art. Also that snail shell fan in the middle

    I figured Apple would make it extremely difficult to replace the RAM, given it would be less than half the price to upgrade to the max RAM by doing it yourself compared with upgrading at the Apple online checkout.

    The speaker is for saying "BONG!" on bootup

    Thanks for showing the teardown. I was planning to rip it apart myself and after watching your vid, I'm much more confident that I can with no issues.

    Well done. I like the amount of detail you share in the video.

    That RAM cover is made like a faraday cage. The frequencies of the ram, the processor, USB, and wireless are all in the same (or an integer multiple of) frequency range. You’ll get induction noise...like when a cell phone about to ring would cause static in nearby speakers. The first metal grill you removed after prying off the base severs the same purpose...note how the antenna was placed on the outside surface of it...keeps it free of internal electrical noise.

    Started watching this channel couple of weeks ago but just realised this is the same channel I used to love to watch AGES ago and then he went to Bolivia and was gone for a while. Amazing that you're still at it Quinn. Keep up the amazing work dude!!

    Nice teardown video of the Mac Mini! Appreciate the time you took explaining AND demonstrating how you remove the different components to access them.

    That's why the ram cage is there. Because the rubber ram "clips" could just fall off... Yesh? Maybe? Anyway, great video as always. Thanks

    Dude. This is the first video of yours that I've watched - you make tear down look SO easy! Amazingly simple .SUBSCRIBED.

    I know I am never gonna buy a Mac but I still watched this video till the end. Your videos are so satisfying. Keep it up, bro!

    My disappointment is that the Mac Mini’s didn’t come with the Intel “Skull Canyon” CPU’s that had Vega GPU’s. The would have been better than the on board GPU and that speaker.

    To us tech enthusiasts, a video like this one is like a really good thriller movie 😎.

    The Mac Mini was the only Mac I'd ever looked at to buy. I got to use one at my old work and I loved it, so I'm really happy about this.
