The latest Mac Mini is using Apple's M1 processor, but instead of turning it on, I decided to take it apart. I hope I didn't break it.

The reason they removed the 10 gigabit and sodimm slots is specifically because you complimented them on it last time.
They didn’t remove it. The “Pro” Mac mini is still available. This being silver and not space gray indicates that this Mac mini is meant to be for low end consumers.
@@MacFan2410 yet the processor outperforms it in every metric...
And thanks to the compliment,they will sell that option for an extra 100 dollars. :]
They did it to sell more.. whenever they wanna sell more of something they remove features and increase prices.. and people eat it up.
@@MacFan2410 ahhh we've got a product for you...the old one!

Answer: In order to be able to whine why Apple refuses to repair his purposefully damaged device.
To establish dominance.
it's all I could think of too! CRINGE
because he hates apple products?
I feel like they didn't change the size of the Mac mini is because when they launch the newer Mac mini they can announce "it's 9%
thinner
20%
smaller 13% lighter"
I mean........ it’s practically been the same for over 10 years now? Doubt it
@@00700556Do you actually keep track of the DVD boxes and their dimensions? Especially for ten years?

@@icantgivecredit871 changing the size mean change the machines that make it
Linus: Handling products with care since never.
I love watching Linus complain about 10gbit connection that literally only 0.1% of the world uses and acting like its a big deal, Linus, literally only a handful of people can afford that expensive internet, just because youre rich doesnt mean every product needs 10gbit port, no one will use it so why bother putting it in
@@Glade4 Except they run their local connection. They need 10gbit because they have wires running through all of their studio connecting their machines to the servers and having connections that fast to their local servers will obviously make a big difference to them.
@@Glade4 The real benefit to 10gig Ethernet is to make fast network attached storage available. That’s why he’s upset that it doesn’t have it.
The exact opposite of me. My phone looks brand new after about a year
@@Glade4 I think their use case is mostly for internal transfer from their local network to the computer and vice versa so I don't think expensive internet is the reason you would want it. I don't think you can get internet speeds even close to 10 Gb no matter how much money you have. Most ISPs are maxed at around 1 Gb.
I bet the reason they didn’t add 10gig was specifically to spite Linus
@@ZexMaxwell they had plenty of space did you not see

Apple: *GET OUT*
They don't want you even replacing your screen on the new iPhones. They have it hard-coded into the firmware now that if you put in a "non-official/non-Apple screen" it will just brick your device automatically. Pretty dumb and anti-consumer/anti-right to repair, but hey, sadly doesn't surprise me with Apple.
yes but it doesn't have "ram." It has unified memory that obviously has its own proprietary requirements. Its not just some ddr4 sticks anymore.
@@doorey2 Yes, now it's kewl DDR4 chips packaged in SoC instead of being soldered on a stick. So kewl… so inventive… so… daring…
@@DeathBringer769 Kinda overexaggerating there, it doesn't brick the device completely, just shows a notice in settings; Not as severe but still annoying nonetheless
@@DeathBringer769 wanna help me go all out "Death to the MPLA!" on them?

lol
Apple’s ifixit kit was just there to test their new anti-right to repair designs of course ;)
Isheep screeching in the distance...
hah. perhaps.
I think it's because repair companies know Apple products better than Apple does
This needs more upvotes for sure.
I guess even they had to admit that ifixit's quality is great
Just checking that none of ifixit screwdrivers would fit to apple's screws. Looks like they failed it on m1 mac mini, but they will get it "right", just wait for next generation.
All that empty space inside. Clearly following their past transitions, the first generation using the same housing to reduce overall project risk by doing not two things at once, even if the new motherboards mean lots of empty space inside. The second generation is where we'll probably see it shrink substantially. Same as the previous ISA transitions.
Same with the MacBooks. I anticipate some sort of redesign in the next 1-2 years
@@Virishking I think it will be a more gradual redesign
Would be awesome if they made a Mac Supermini about the same size as a Raspberry Pi, really take on the NUC market. I'd buy that.
I can't wait until the Mac redesigns. I hate Apple but their designs and the way their products work are interesting.
Apple did the same exact thing when they transitioned from PowerPC to Intel. No redesign of the chassis until the next refresh, I believe.
I feel like no matter how this project works out, it's a really interesting step in tech history
Thanks for the video! If it had a 1TByte SSD inside, I'm in. But App compatibility would still be a concern. I heard though it does deliver exceptional speed performance.
The lack of eGPU support probably has more to do with them not having GPU drivers available for ARM than anything with the Thunderbolt ports.
gonna guess they didn't fix the PCIe memory BAR on ARM SoCs (usually sub-64MiB) being too small for what most PCIe graphics cards ever made need (512MiB+).
I wonder if it'd work if you booted Linux on one of them, since the AMDGPU driver should still work on ARM.
@@francistheodorecatte what's interesting to me is that somehow Nvidia and amd both release arm drivers even though their GPUs are unusable on arm devices due to their bar limitation(I guess there must be some arm device that supports GPUs but I don't know)
@@francistheodorecatte That might be the case, but Apple isn't using a "garden variety" ARM SoC. It supports NVMe storage at high bandwidths, an embedded GPU, and 60-80 Gbps of USB/Thunderbolt connectors. I doubt they would break eGPU compatibility with something as silly as BAR capacity.
@@manaspradhan8041 The Jetson series of Nvidia devices at the very least are ARM cores which run Nvidia GPU cores, and would require drivers for them. The Nintendo Switch actually would require those drivers since it's a paired-down Jetson X1. Not sure about AMD though.
I wanna see LTT do a diy PC built in a Mac mini enclosure. That would be interesting.
Yes
It would be hard to fit though
With raspberry? 😂
Would be very hard for them to make, seeing as the mac mini has literally everything integrated in 1 chip. LTT has nowhere near the equipment, or expertise to do that. (Not hating on LTT, almost no-one does)
@@Lucasfonoli still more powerful than mac
Mac Mini!!! I was not really a fan of Apple products (PC/Windows die hard fan here) but I considered getting a Mac Mini. But this Mac Mini is not an M1, but a Late 2012 Mac Mini. It was upgraded to 16gb RAM and a 275gb SSD drive from Crucial. I am satisfied with how it performs on a Catalina, and I have yet to try dosdude's Monterey patch. I think it can handle it. What I love about Mac Minis is that they're robust and small. Its a space saver and its more like a portable desktop if you were to ask me. :)
This was so helpful, thank you very much! I just now realized that one of my major mistakes is that I only always see and think about territory right away from the beginning.

A Mac mini, just as powerful compute power as a base Mac Pro tower or core I9 MacBook Pro. Your loss that you are not excited by this achievement in processor tech. I’m in pure bliss and and excitement for us both.
First thing first, Apple's design team has done an incredible job of replicating a tiffin box!
Few months back, I added 8 GB RAM, replaced the HDD with SSD in my 8 years old Dell XPS 15 and with Windows 10, it works like a breeze! This is something you cannot do when you pack Apples inside a tiffin box 😁
I'm fairly confident that Linus reassembled the whole product without the actual cooler in it before he noticed.
This is assuming he actually bothers reassembling them himself. He very well might, but I don't know that to be a fact.

-whats their stupid branding for this? Smart access memory

It's not an AMD creation, linux has had it for half a decade.
@@Hyperion62 He was talking about branding, not the thing itself. Calling standard PCIe BAR their ridiculous "crimson big-dick professional deluxe"-style names is exemplary stupid.
Smart access memory and unified memory are two very different things
@@benjaminrich1653 Yes, "two very different"… meaningless marketing terms. The second one referring to having shared memory controller for CPU+GPU cores or 2 their MMUs negotiating DMA passthrought access for GPU… which no one referred to or mentioned here, except you, for no reason.
So far I'm happy with my M1 Mini but I must say with all that empty space they should have put in a larger speaker. The one they have now sounds worse than the built-in speakers in my PCs from the late 1980s. Which is odd because Apple sells more speakers than any other company on earth.
That’s a terrible idea it increases cost, maximizes heat, and increases weight and if your not using surround sound speakers, then you don’t actually care
@@user-oj8zo3cr4b Your opinion is valid, but 26 people liked my idea.
@@thomaswinwood Yes, Apple sells more speakers than anyone on Earth, but most of those speakers are tiny speakers that you find in an Apple Watch, Apple Tablet, or Apple iPhone. Considering all that expertise, I think Apple should have put one of those speakers into the Mac Mini.

Interestingly when you look at these benchmarks, not only is this the first generation of this chip, but they’re also only replacing the lowest end models of their line. I’ll be really interested to see what M2 in the laptops / Mmini and desktop M series looks like.
😅
Small detail for Anthony to check: For some reason the same usb-c external ssd I have only gets 350mbs speeds on my Mac mini M1, but it gets 450+ speeds on my MacBook Pro 13 2017. Tried it through usb-c and regular usb 3 and same difference. Is the usb somehow different on the Mini M1?

Good finding lol
Linus: "I will close out this video, by closing it up" ... forgot the fan :D
He's not typically a fan of Mac so I'm not surprised :)
No fan needed lmao
Wouldn't have made any difference on the temps
Why did Apple even add a fan? I thought ARM CPUs didn't need one and that was one of Apple's big selling points?
@Abhishek Harge Well I assumed it as all three platforms (MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac Mini) use the same chip and are basically all the same spec. Also because just about all consumer ARM devices are solid-state, fanless designs, due to lower power consumption and lower operating temperature.

Having seen the internals you might guess Apple has something on its sleeve to go full throttle on the PC dominance race.

Being skeptical about a product claiming to be 2x, 3x whatnot better performing than some device they won't even mention.
Don't be gullible and believe everything a company says, question everything.
@Mir Osamah Ali Okay. I agree with your last statement. Pretend your Linus now. Shouldn't your first video released about this product be about the benchmarks you personally ran to verify/debunk Apple's claims? In what mindset is your first video be something along the lines of dissing the "non-distinguishing design" from last year's model, and "this is where the disappointment starts"?
Anders Wallin - there are many examples of Linus treating a variety of companies’ dubious marketing ploys with sustained hostility. He went after nVidia for there recent 3070 launch, he went after Intel for there launch the day before Ryzen 2 (I think that lasted a week or two), and now he’s going after apple. We could debate the ethics of it all but he’s consistent. He is also very against apple’s stance on repairs so that is surely a factor.
@@mirosamahali The fun part is that I don't even think he's skeptical because as he points out there's nothing to believe, when the reviews come out (they have) everything will be fact-checked. He just criticized the fact that apple presentation was so unclear on their affirmations, but being honest they always are.
We don't know if it's a marketing strategy but it works. Linus hates it and people is missinterpreting his upsetness.

Being totally honest...I'm coming back to Apple. This product is the start of something very new and possibly the future of computing. I haven't felt good about an Apple product in about a decade. Buy a Mac Mini now to play around with, then wait for the more powerful machines to come out and the make this our family computer. If Apple puts the development support behind this I think they will, this is revolutionary computing.
Can you do an overheating test? I have a mini server in a remote area where cooling isn't a viable option and the room at times can hit the 90's. Would love to see how the M1 can deal with warm server environments
My question is will the next iPad Pro have an M1 or an A14x? My current iPad Pro with the A12z is already crazy fast. Right now tho I’m disappointed Adobe Premiere Rush doesn’t support the videos from my iPhone 12 Pro Max so I cant edit videos on my bed and actually have to sit on a chair in front of a computer so I can use premiere pro. If the next iPad gets the M1 I will definitely buy it. I’m actually thinking about getting the M1 Mac mini with 16 gb of ram. Problem is I just got laid off so money is gonna be tight for a while for me.
Anyone else find the Wi-Fi cable being stretched the entire time really annoying?

@Linus, Your last comment is spot on ! I dont think a lot of people understands the significance of this combined with Graviton and the latest 78C ARM architecture. Also Photoshop is now in beta for ARM native on both Mac and Windows on ARM and so is office.... let that sink in. If Apple did large cloud datacenters like AWS or Microsoft and made their own server version of the M1 the efficiency and cost savings in power usage and thus cooling would be a real threat.
I love the way he’s haphazardly using the screwdriver to poke at the components and motherboard. I can hear the micro resistors flying off the board!!
Don’t let Linus fix your computer, he will likely leave the CPU out.

@@soravulpis96 I had someone I know who needed a more powerful macbook to push two displays and was excited about being able to push "pro" worksation styles (2 monitors) on their macbook "pro".
Too bad the M1 chip doesn't allow for that on any configuration that isn't the mac mini.
With how small the entire thing is (not including the case) I could see them being used in blade servers. They're cheap, small, low power, have high compute per watt, and don't produce a lot of heat. Unfortunately, they can't be upgraded (for understandable reasons). If it weren't for that I could imagine large datacenters fulls of these striped mac minis. They're only twice the size of a raspberry pi. The cluster computing potential could be enormous if it weren't limited by its small io, buss size, and ARM processor. If it weren't for its slow 1Gbps port I think it would be great for multiple high availability servers with load balancers.
...GREAT! ...one question beside: Is there a free software for the new M1 computers for my network cameras? Where i can have 8 cams and monitor if there is movement and record the scenes if there is! ...and is it also possible to instlall the windows software metatrader 4 or 5 on this machine?

I don’t see an ifixit logo or anything to indicate that’s an actual ifixit kit
Reverse reverse engineering.
Actually, 10gb Ethernet is an option on the M1 Mac Mini (or at least theoretically), just not through a built-in Ethernet Port. You’ll have to use a external dongle but you can buy a 10Gb Ethernet to ThunderBolt 3 dongle from OWC. Thus 10gb Ethernet does appear to be an option for the M1-based Mac Mini which support TB3, even if not built-in. Of course I don’t know if any driver issue might exist that might prevent this dongles use on the M1 Mac Mini since I don’t think anyone has tested this solution out yet given the M1 Mac Mini was just released.
"a whole heck of a not a lot in here" @ 4:10 ... I gotta start using this line
AMD's SAM is nothing close to a fabric like Apple's. Apple has a shared memory approach which means all components share the same memory, which is very different from being able to access another processor's memory. In Apple's case compute units go as far as sharing an L2 cache which is insanely more tightly integrated than having CPU and GPU speaking over PCI-E. In terms of computing this means you can do GPU offloading at zero cost. If Apple comes up with an Nvidia-like programming model where they provide a compiler that can translate some C++ standard algorithms straight into GPU accelerated algorithms, they would pretty much destroy the competition when it comes to high-throughput computing for which GPUs are heavily optimized. If you want to get an idea of how fast it would get, you might want to look at Nvidia's dev blog where they compare a Tegra TX2 against a 200W, 14 core Xeon E5-2690 for machine learning workloads: developer.nvidia.com/blog/jetson-tx2-delivers-twice-intelligence-edge/
Apple didn't invent anything with that architecture really. This kind of design was just waiting for a more mature CPU architecture to be put in mainstream computers.
interesting - appreciate that little bit of insight! :D
This probably has more to do with debate of UMA vs NUMA memory models. Apple went for UMA now and its fabric is the biggest bottleneck in terms of bandwidth. That's probably we don't see 10 gigabit or eGPU support, esp. the latter as it would destroy the controller.
We need UMA vs NUMA techquickie!
What's the point of all this if the GPU itself is weak af
That's why the new MacBook can't even run emulators 😂😂
@@sushimshah2896 That's the entire point, even weak GPUs can speed up significantly from this

100% the 10 gig issue is the same reason there is only 2 thunderbolt ports.

7:32 - My brain nearly 90% of the time... but with a black and white mouse pointer rotating egg timer.
I never use Boot Camp on my Mac, but I was intrigued to hear that that feature is totally gone on the new Macs, although it certainly does make sense.
Here's is my hoping that future M-series chips do allow for having expandable RAM. Maybe there will be an option to add traditional (SO)DIMM memory that adds to the capacity of the memory that's already on the SOC, only with slightly slower access times due to band width. It's like the slow and fast RAM of then olden days, except both are very fast.
Can you plug the mac mini m1 usb-4 port into a display with a usb-c dp1.4 alt mode input support and pd [ power delivery ] 90w output and have that power the device, i.e. like a thunderbolt/usb-c enabled laptop, versus having to also plug the mac mini m1 into a power source?
x86 is more and more using RISC inside it's cores and wrapping it in CISC, to run x86 instruction set. They are getting more similar than you'd think. On the other hand, arm is making more powerful cores. I think they will coexist and intel and amd wont have problems because of arm...
Everybody Gangster until Apple releases LEG processors
I imagine there's no SODIMM option because there isn't a "normal" memory controller on the M1 SoC, so to add SODIMM support they'd have to also add a suitable memory controller, and bring all those needed signals off-chip.

He's not holding the screwdriver(with the blue end cap) most of the time, but what looks like some kind of plastic tool(entirely black). It doesn't seem likely there'd be any damage, even though it looks odd at first.
They haven’t replaced the high-end Mac mini yet. You can still order 10gbit minis but they will have Intel CPUs until the “M1X” is ready I suppose
color does indicate pro / consumer. anyone doing critical work still need the more expensive, slower, but more reliable Mac. at least for next 6 - 12 months.
So Linus talked a BUNCH of things saying that “haven’t tested yet”, and now that he has it, he’s disassembling it???
so?
He probably dropped it twice before the review
he bought 2 of them
Don't turn it on, take it apaaaaart!
Do a short video comparing 10gbe thunderbolt dongles to see how they stack up to your current MacMini 10gbe ingest stations.
1:37 that aged well, now you can get it with a 10 Gigabit Ethernet
"...and this is where the disappointment starts..." 😂
Is what my parents said when I was born
The old powerPC CPU's were RISC chips....Apple is just going back to RISC with ARM.
So you mean Apple, without Steve Jobs around, is going to a CPU design that isn't x86... Just like they did over 2 decades ago... Before they went nearly bankrupt? Without Steve Jobs around, they went to PowerPC... And almost went tits up... -grabs popcorn- Oh boy! :D
The way Linus says "vague" is sooo vague that I can't impersonate it to save my life!
Hey guys. Beside that review, do you know which apps are running on Linus his Apple Watch? Could not identify the one top left and the one bottom middle. Between Battery and Activity. Thanks
Is "That's right, my friends" Linus' catchphrase that must be included in every one of his scripts?
Waouh tu es pas chaud et la Bête Cabomba des 4 chemins Kaboom body guitars model year do you have to go to the Russia reply because that must be included in every one of his cigarette electronique a Saturday night isn't really good shop

It took courage to include that headphone jack
Yes stunning and brave
You don't even need it because a device like this will spend all of its time in the bin
@@sivansharma5027 damn bro that was mad funny :|
Thought Linus said this channel would be for quick unboxing and videos that has not enough "value" to be uploaded on LTT.
I love when he gets analytical and technical
That's a really big raspberry pi without gpio pins!
Could you please also cover bootcamp support in your full review for Macbook/Mac mini?
It's not supported.
I guess you could use USB to 10Gb Ethernet adapter if you really need that, although apparently it can be quite expensive (although I remember Apple's option was $100 too, so actually prices are somewhat comparable to a dongle).
But yeah, that's stupid and doesn't make much sense not to include 10GbE as an option.
It make sense because m1 is for an entry level devices. 10gb Ethernet is not for an entry level.
Definitely a bandwith issue with the M1 chip. It only supports two displays as well which Imo is terrible especially for the notebooks since they already “include” 1 display internally which eliminates dual monitors at a desk for them.
@@skirata3144 You're talking about entry-level 13" laptops and a mini desktop here, no one who bought these previously was hooking them up to 16 Pro Display XDRs. if you absolutely need to have more than one external monitor connected to the laptops or two on the desktops then wait for the higher-end 13" MacBook Pro or Mac mini to get Apple silicon.
I just wonder how this affects the future of gaming and as well as pc performance like
Is ARM better than x86?
If yes , then is ARM better for gaming?
We just moved to x86 from last gen, when will consoles move back to ARM?
Again, entry level Mac Mini. Also you have a SOC which includes RAM. The M1 is much more efficient with memory. M1 silicon doesn’t need as much memory as Intel silicon does.
Amd are working on RISC architecture... Looks like everything's going to head that way
Most modern x86 cpus from both Intel and AMD actually have a core which looks more RISC like than CISC. They do have a decoder to break down the complex x86 instructions prior to this. I believe Intel calls the broken down instructions R-Ops

@@sdchew 😭
AMD also partner with Samsung on their Exynoss chip. They can learn a lot from that project.
@@sdchew if that’s the case could AMD and Intel release dual compatibility CPUs by either enabling or disabling the translation layer?
@@l4ndst4nder I expect amd to do that, intel nope.
Do you hate Apple Linus, this is revolution in the computer market, they earned respect for their move.
A reveolution for vendor lock-in and unrepairability, you mean.
@@liesdamnlies3372 wow, I see replying in like 10 other comments. Chill out
Hey Linus, is that Bamboo plant in the background or something else ??? Great video also, Dude :)))
Whaaaaat is the musicccc- chill af guitarrrr
Performance tests are coming in, Poor Linus
Linus sounds like he's trying not to sound too excited
He is piss off on something we don't know.
Actrally he just finished the joker show and let another guy do the technical test.
When the review of the ML accelerations of the Mac Mini M1?
Just got mine yesterday traded in my mini late 2014 for my use not sure it was worth it but with the trade in and sons student discount it’s ok to a desktop system
