A new teardown of the M4 Mac mini has gone live, with various internal changes such as a different cooling solution and a secondary motherboard
Apple had to bring upon some ‘magic’ engineering to make sure that its latest M4 Mac mini becomes significantly smaller than previous-generation models. Getting a closer look inside the compact machine, we find numerous internal changes and a revamped cooling solution that allows the redesigned computer to run cool while flaunting a smaller footprint.User-replaceable storage and a single heatpipe solution make up the M4 Mac mini internals, but be careful when removing the bottom panel

Regardless, this setback did not deter the content creator from getting inside and he noticed a circular disk with multiple holes to direct hot and cold air, both from the same path, which is a clever engineering feat.
