Three Macs with Apple Silicon: MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro and Mac mini have arrived and some users have decided to unpack theirs. Specifically, we have Mac mini reboot images that, in addition, have given us the original M1 chip image that created a lot of chaos.
Mac may be a very small mini
In the video above, the channel Brandon Geekabit it does a very fast unboxing of machines and starts unraveling it quickly. As we can see, the opening system is the same as the previous generation and in many cases the same as the previous one. Notable is the amount of space available inside the abdomen. If we compare this computer with its predecessor with Intel from 2018 or 2020 we see that the motherboard has been significantly reduced. In fact, if before it enters almost every space, near the fan and electrical power, the current board is between 30% and 40% smaller.
So the question is why Apple has not yet reduced the body size of the Mac mini. Considering these doubts, we must say that they are indeed in the company’s plans for a future version of this computer. The kind that can come in handy by the end of 2021 if we start to get used to the annual renewal cycle similar to the one we see on the iPhone.
In the video we see the M1 chip appear for the first time. It is labeled APL1102 and contains 8 CPU cores, 8 GPU cores, and 16 Neural Engine cores, among others. It also contains Integrated RAM, which allows this Mac to perform at a much higher level than you might expect.
It is clear that Apple has calculated its positive movements with the arrival of the Mac via the M1. All the steps, even those that took more than a year ago with Catalina, now sound good. Transformation, as our initial ratings or tests tell us, is almost impossible, yes, now Macs are moving at full speed.
