Chinese engineers spend time and money determined to upgrade the RAM and memory chip of Apple Mac Mini to be equal.
Apple computers have a problem that makes users quite annoying that it is difficult to upgrade, especially since Apple introduced the M1 chip that integrates memory directly into the processor. But recently, a Chinese engineer spent time, money and skills to remove the DRAM and NAND chip and replace it with a new one with a larger capacity. Of course, doing this will cause the computer to lose its warranty, so please see for reference.
It is known that this engineer upgraded the Apple Mac Mini M1 with 8 GB of GDDR4X RAM and 256 GB of storage to 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage, by removing old components and soldering chips with large capacity. than. Also, this engineer doesn’t need to reconfigure the firmware or anything, and everything still works as usual.
Of course, Apple is not the only computer company that uses SoC processors and solder components onto motherboards. Both Intel and AMD provide SoCs to PC makers. Intel even offers prototype designs to create PC platforms that use soldered components on motherboards.
