Teardown video of the M4 Mac mini shows us the inside of the smallest Mac to date

YouTube channel Brandon Geekabit today shared a teardown video of the new entry-level Mac mini with the M4 chip, 256GB of storage, and 16GB of RAM.

The video provides the first complete look at the smallest Mac Apple has ever made, revealing the computer’s motherboard, integrated power supply, cooling system and other components.

While Apple’s previous silicon-chip Mac mini models had plenty of unused internal space because the computer hadn’t been redesigned since it used Intel processors, now components take up almost all of the space inside the new model.

The bottom metal plate on the Mac mini continues to act as an antenna as well. Once removed, you can see the fan and heatsink that help maintain the correct temperature for the computer to run.

You can still see your Mac mini’s storage drive. The base model with 256GB of storage has two 128GB chips, meaning it will no longer have slower SSD speeds compared to higher-capacity models.

Finally, you can see the Mac mini motherboard with the M4 chip and power supply underneath.

The new Mac mini has an innovative thermal architecture, in which air is directed from the bottom to the different levels of the computer.

The Mac mini is now available in stores.
