Apple Mac Mini is 'difficult to upgrade and repair'

Apple 's 2014 Mac Mini is difficult to repair and even harder to upgrade via do-it-yourself means, according to a report.

Teardown specialist iFixit has already dissected the latest version of the machine, discovering that its processor and RAM are soldered to the logic board.

Although the computer is said to be relatively easy to have repaired professionally, the presence of T6 Torx Security screws, which require specialist tools to remove, makes it difficult to mend at home.

iFixit conducted its analysis on the entry-level model of the Mac Mini, discovering a 1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor and 4GB of RAM inside.


This version of the machine is available at £399, while Apple is also offering 2.6GHz and 2.8GHz models at £569 and £799 respectively.


The new Mac Minis were unveiled alongside the iMac with Retina display, the iPad Air 2 and the iPad Mini 3 at Apple's press conference last week.
