Description

Writer: Brett Stelmaszek Editor: Jayson van Kerckhoven Music by: @UFD-Music Apple’s up to their old garbage ways and I can’t wait til its illegal everywhere. When the revamped Mac Mini launched it was fantastic because it was an awesome price, but you could also technically swap in storage with its SSD slot. It wasn’t quite the same as an m.2 like with a PC, but it was close enough that you could get aftermarket upgrades pretty easily. But with the latest chip upgrade to M5 & M6, Apple just did away with that altogether and instead went straight back to soldering the drives to the board making upgrades, swaps, and repair WAY more difficult. And they didn’t even have to because the Mac Studio with its chip upgrade still has user-replaceable drives.Show all
