A Look Inside Apple's New M1 MacBooks!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- This Fall, we’ve seen what could end up being the most radical update to an Apple product in ten years: meet the new Apple Silicon M1 MacBooks (and mac mini, but we’ll talk about that later). These machines have been out in the wild for a few days and are proving to run insanely fast and extremely cool. Just how did Apple bend time and space to make a laptop that runs faster and cooler at the same time? Let’s take a peek inside to find out.

I feel the point of the comparison between the old and new laptop is ruined by showing them rotated from eachother, making a direct comparison difficult.
Exactly what I thought
That's why it had 61 dislikes (including me)
Agree.... Ifixit has always been that way.. They don't know what people want
It’s completely thoughtless. What a shame.
@@JMProd-III Yep. That, plus the presenter.
They took the Air away from the MacBook Air
Yes
no
If anything, they did the opposite.
I thought the Air was because it was light? Is it heavy like a brick now?
And the pro from the MacBook Pro
Dude, it's sooooo much better when the open laptops are side-by-side for comparisons.
Next time, please.
1:31 They are, aren't they? :)
@@lhenn_ I'm pretty sure what Mamo means is to have them both facing the same way. At 1:31 they are back to back, making the comparisons take a bit more time while you figure out where things are relative to the other mac.
exactly!
First of all stop saying they are fast because they are not lol they expensive slow shitbooks xD an iPhone paired with a gaming laptop is better.
@@jesusisrussian7059 who are you talking to
I can understand the lack of upgradability on the memory. In decades of computer use, I've never had memory fail. But the lack of a proper m.2 slot for storage upgradability is (yet again) disappointing. I wouldn't even care if they added it as purely a backup option and didn't even populate it. Just leave it empty and up to the user.
I can agree an m.2 slot would of been nice
Ever had an SSD fail? Just buy the storage you need?
In terms of MacBook Air, having an unpopulated M.2 backup slot is the equivalent of having a second mainboard without any use for most people. Will never happen.
@@juliusklaas ever had your storage needs change over time?
@@konrad7592 sure, but a cloud or external storage would conveniently take care of that until I upgrade my device the next time.
When iFixit doesn’t rate the repair ability of a device you know this is something non of us will be able to fix
@Hazard how about upgrade the ram in a few years or replace a broken SSD? Nah just throw an otherwise perfectly fine laptop out and buy a new one...
@@liamdenkers83 They just converted their laptop lineup to the same philosophy of the iphone. Next time, they'll just glue it together so you won't even be able to open them with a screw driver.
*repairability
*device, you
*none
*fix.
@@liamdenkers83 95% of users won’t ever want to upgrade the ram, in 4-5 years it will be replaced by the next best thing. Apple would have to “punish” those users with a thicker, likely slower laptop with more failure points to make that happen. Given their performance today, these consumer grade MacBooks will browse the internet, and handle business office software fine for 8-10 years, and by then they won’t be supported by the latest software release. I’ve got a 2012 MBP that’s still kicking, (I don’t know a single person with a functioning 8 year old windows laptop) and it’s noticeably old. No amount of ram is going to change its display, or weight. Modularity still makes sense on top end workstations designed to run bleeding edge software, (even then large teams often keep the same workflow for years) and all in one packaging makes sense for mobile products where portability and battery life are paramount.
@@mrlt1151 Some of us don't have the money to buy a new laptop every time Apple pushes out a new one lol - you clearly have no idea what it feels like to be able to upgrade your own laptop. Upgrading RAM/SSD is one of the best ways to keep using an old Windows laptop to this day - and there are many people I see who have Windows laptops back from 2007 - they even upgraded their CPUs because that was possible - something that you have never experienced. Not to mention - just being able to fix your own things - if the RAM stick fails - just switch it out - good luck doing that on your MacBook, where you take it to the Apple 'Genius' Bar for them to tell you that your machine is 'water damaged' and you need to buy a new MacBook cause lo and behold - the repair will somehow cost more than the price you bought the machine for.
The CPU looks so weird, as if its cut in half and slapped on the board with the CPU shield only covering one side and not the memory modules
it looks exactly like on the iPad Pro 2018 and 2020 tho.
it's the first generation of the m soc, will be interesting to see how they deal with ram in future gens
that’s just the heat spreader you’re seeing
@@zaphenath6756 next 2 years the chip will also contain ram and after 5-10 years whole motherboard will be a size of an credit card and everything will have direct access to everything lol
@@noble_lime them computers gonna be SOOO fast!!! :)
I like how all Apple products have really small logic boards
the macbook is mostly battery lmao
@@dannnyyang true, they should try to come up with some new battery technology to fit even more inside it! Oh wait, its apple...
@@CrisCheese_ they are trying to build hydrogen batteries
@@CrisCheese_ ? They are working on new battery technology. Just like every other tech company
@@CrisCheese_ Apple is rumored to be using soft-board battery tech in iPhones and is working on hydrogen cell based batteries.
You should change the branding to iCanNotFixit :-)
The M1 chip looks like they forgot RAM and cut it off. 😂
Apple engineers: It needs to be small and really powerful. One engineer where's the RAM? Dang I forgot that computers need that. Let's put it here!
@@Raaaphael nice joke. but actually if you put the same heatspreader as for the cpu its would make ram hot
@@Raaaphael Is small not powerful it was made to not be powerful or good. it was created to save money.. it doesnt have quality but it looks pretty tho.
@@jesusisrussian7059 you clearly have zero idea of what you’re talking about.
i forgor💀
If these laptops work this well with M1, I couldn’t care less about the ability to upgrade memory or storage. The future is looking bright
@@Adam_Rosenberg91 except, they charge an absurd amount for just 8 more gigabytes of RAM.
@@tanmay______ did you check the cost of storage? Mac mini with 2 TB upgrade costs more than mac mini
I think it’s good but only if it continues to work as advertised. As with Apple, there’s always errors and breaking parts. And that’s gonna be hella expensive. I’m ok with no upgradability, but reasonably affordable repairability actually more important.
@@StephenOrion you know i found these machines great bt being from a poor family i cant afford apple let alone the repairs.
If your okay paying six times more for storage and memory upgrades than good for you I guess 👏
Curious to see what’s under the M1’s IHS! Any chance of a delid?
TAKE IT A PART.. 0_o
A shiny silicon rectangle I'd assume, same as any other soc/cpu
@@sierra5065 but is it actually square?
I've actually delidded a ton of stuff with iFixit's Jimmy tool. I would love to see a delid!
yaaaaaassssssssss!!!!! dooo itttt!!!!
“Inevitably run chrome”? Bro, a lot of people like Safari
Its a joke, about Chrome's power usage.
r/whoosh
safari beats everything easily
Chrome is still important for web development and is available on all platforms, if only safari was the same...
i love firefox
I really wonder if the batteries and displays will be paired like in the iPhone
sure looks like it. jerryrig or somebody took two brand new phones and swapped parts and it introduced all kinds of glitches
@@zaphenath6756 replace the camera and the camera broke, replace the battery and it’s still working fine
If Apple had their way, even the keycaps will be paired to logic board and removing even one will render the entire laptop inoperable.
wow I'm actually surprised people actually replied. ty guys.. but lmao Peter. Zaph it was Hugh Jeffreys
Can’t believe that maybe in next year MacBooks may be the best ultrabooks again
Already are. Just not at all user friendly for repairs.
The storage is probably tied to the M1 chip, otherwise, I bet Scotty from Strange Parts could de-solder them and upgrade them himself.
I remember that channel! He installed a headphone jack in his iPhone 7!
They're not digitally tied, they're just manufactured together. It's close to an impossible task to swap one over.
@@TheZyzxx if anyone can do it, Scotty can.
But still there's a huge probability that micro solder wouldn't work, just like the soldered ram upgrades unless you'd be lucky.
No more laptops are produced like the old thinkpad
Great!
Actually new ThinkPads (2019+) are not bad at all
@@pistekjiri Intel TuRbohot CPU, no Iris GPU. Thanks, I’ll stand
@@pistekjiri After having issues with two of them, I won't buy other ThinkPad ever again.
@@xue8888 integrated GPU from intel is trash, always was always will be
I just want laptop with replaceable battery
upgradable ram and storage.
I'm sure they can make does laptop.
and that's why i'm using good old thinkpad
Their unifed memory doesn’t allows storage to be replaced , battery replacing means good old days but it would affects the thickness of the macbook . For complete control over your laptop buy a gaming laptop as most are replaceable and for thin ultra books apple MacBooks are best .
@@patturajanmanasay428 y buy gaming laptop when u can buy thinkpad lol
Im still waiting for the HomePod Mini Teardown
LTT has done that already
@@gauravmondal homepod and mac isnt the same
@@gauravmondal LTT hasn’t done it
3:40 so it's exactly what apple's wanted for years
Correct
spot on
efficient, quiet, crazy thin & the most important- unrepairable.
If Apple had their way, even the keycaps will be paired to logic board and removing even one will render the entire computer inoperable.
@Winston Porter awww...you talk like a 10 yr old who just discovered the concept of money
I will stick to thinkpads for now. Apple should also solder the back cover too so that no one can open it at all. Bravo apple, u are stunning and brave
i will only buy used laptops because hey are such a ripoff these days
you guys have no clue whatsoever rofl, there is nothing to repair and upgrading is as easy as selling and buying the one you want, the cost is insanely low and users not messing with a device is the primary reason for the unbeatable Apple second hand market.
every device will sell withing 24h at high value
03:02 why the pro logic board is much larger than the air? What extras does it have? If both have same hardware inside then why is the board that big?
cuz the macbook pro is made to be more spread out to fit the fan at the opposite side on the board
@@bryanmiller476 visibly there are more components on the pro logic board, I think if same size as air board was used on the pro there would be a bit more space left for something else
Pretty sure it's just the same motherboards found on the old Intel Macs. No idea what those extra components do though - maybe some of those components are combined on the Air's motherboard? Regardless they're obviously pretty different designs even if they happen to do the same thing, which reflects fairly separate histories those two laptop brands have.
@@theblah12 definitely there’s a reason for spread out board in pro, Air board is almost 2.5x smaller than the pro, perhaps any electronics engineer could explain it. I’m more interested to know whether the pro logic board design improves longevity or intense cpu usage or something...
@@umangku99 I remember when the original Macbook Air came out Steve Jobs made a big deal about the size of the motherboard and how it was custom designed for the new laptop - I imagine a lot of decisions made back then still inform the design of the latest Air. Whereas the internals of the Macbook Pro is probably still an evolution of the original Intel Pro from 2006 - maybe even that of the old Powerbooks?
I could see the Macbook Pro using more discrete ICs may have some kind of impact on thermals perhaps. But yeah that's a question for an engineer.
There was a time when you could open the back of your ol' console Television Set, Unplug "suspect" vacuum tubes, take them to a testing machine ( Think of something the size of an arcade Whack-a-mole) at your friendly Hardware or Drugstore, plug them into the appropriate socket and determine whether they needed replacing or not. I am sure this pissed off the TV Repair Man. Well, today both Man and Machine are long gone.....modular desktops (and to a certain extent, laptops) will go the way of the ol' TV..... Modern HDTVs (and future "computers") are appliances. When they fail they are just landfill and, after a few key clicks or screen taps, the next version shows up on your doorstep.
I’m still using the 2012 , 13in MacBook Pro
only thing I’ve had to replace was the power supply
these things are built to last
dont update os
Same here
my 2015 model can barely run Chrome these days.
A1278! Me too. The M1 made me consider upgrading now tho
2012's are built to last, 2016+'s are built to fail...
Everything in there will be locked for replacement. From the battery to the display just like an iPhone.
I don’t believe that is the case with these models
@@keco185 well of course there is, you can't replace ANYTHING that is on the motherboard & the mb on any computer carries the highest probability of risk/failure.
@@CoffeeHead047 “From the battery to the display” last I checked those weren’t part of the motherboard
@@keco185 when'd i say exactly?
If Apple had their way, even the keycaps will be paired to logic board and removing even one will render the entire laptop inoperable.
It's kind of hard to compare the differences when they are flipped around and mirrored. Side by side or stacked- would be easier to see differences.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the days of upgrading anything in a MacBook are long gone, never to return. Most manufacturers have gone that way now. If you want a Mac and want it to be able to upgrade it, you'll have to get the Mac Pro.
Kinda reminds me of the Maytag repairman commercial where he was whining about how dependable they were.
Thx ifixit🙏❤️
How difficult is it to get the heat-sync? Replacing the thermal paste with liquid metal is an interesting concept to a lot of folks.
I want to upgrade my ram..
Genius bar: we have to replace the logic board sir, that would be 2000$
I would like to think that down the line some people may be able to desolder just the CPU itself and replace it with one with more RAM. It would be very tricky to do but could cost much less than replacing the whole board.
@@danieldevilliers3868 oh how sweet, do you know that in iphone 12, if you replace the camera, it will NOT work?
Apple also says...upgrade to new laptop from 8gb old one or broken to 16gb ram. You cant upgrade gpu or ram.
Which battery is used in M1 Macbook Air?
Li-Po or Li-Ion
Really wondering if changing the thermal paste and then increasing the thermal conductivity between the heat spreader and the case will improve the air’s thermals.
Can’t wait for my air to arrive and crack it open to eke out that last bit of performance
Would love to see if the old fan from the air fits in the new air
When you buy any product, you at should have the right to repair.
The logic board looks as complex as a gpu and nobody complains about gpu repairability.
Or you can maintain and care for your products so that you won't have to repair them later.
Personally, i rather have a better machine with better battery life / smaller size than beig able to swap ram sticks or ssd in it. Wtf is wrong with you all, it's 2020 cloud data is so fcking cheap.
@@OG_ALviK Are you saying that mistakes cannot happen? What about the people who accidentally broke their devices? Are they just going pay more money for a new device instead of having it repaired? You know, not everyone can afford to buy a new device whenever something bad happens to it.
@@YAMZOOON I feel sorry for them. But theyr should thought about this before buying a device that is near impossible to repair.
As an android / windows user i can't wait to switch to apple. Right now i can't afford them the way i want to but i am planning to go with apple mainly because of security concern.
The thing with android and windows, your data isn't secure. If somebody want's your data, your info etc, they will extract it and you can't do anything about it. And that's a big concern for me.
As you can see, that macbook / and iphone would be perfect for someone like me. Can't say the same for others.
But hey, nobody is forcing them to buy it, they can buy some kind of windows laptop (even tho, those too often have soldered ram, but still somehow with a shittyer battery and general esthetics of the device)
@@OG_ALviK True Apple devices are quite hard to repair and maintain mostly because of Apple's design. Through I am sure a lot of people still wanted one even if it is costly and nearly impossible to repair. Coming from an Android and Windows user myself, I'm very impressed of M1 but I don't quite agree with their all in one design with no upgradability. Hopefully something might happen in the future that pushes the market to allow better repairability.
What about the display calibration?
No reviewer is showing that, as a content creator it is a must to calibrate the display
Does the display calibration like spyder 5 pro works accuratly on the new m1 chip macbooks??
I wonder how Apple will release their next Mac Pro with their own chips, especially in regards to RAM compatibility
I think they are plenty capable of designing a memory controllerif they want to. ddr and jdec are open standards.
And i think they'll have to, at least for the Mac Pro
I'm interested to see what their plans are for MPX modules. Can't imagine they'd create new-ish expansion card standard only to dump it in the next revision.
Simple : $20,000 Mac Pro ..... non up-gradable
is mac pro use different kind of ram?
Yea...
The most awaited video ❤️🤩
I am a teacher by profession. One of the biggest issues I run in to is the over-heating of my current older Mac Air (the fan just goes crazy loud to the point where it disrupts my lesson plan and students could hear my buzzing fan an hour into my lecture). In relation to the nature of my [long] daily video conferencing/ zoom usage, should I opt for the Macbook Pro due to the fact it has a fan to cool down the chip? Or will the M1 Macbook Air be sufficient due to it's "active cooling agent"?
i had the same crazy fan issue, which ended up with touchpad cable corrosion due to an old water spill damage. replacing the cable solved the issue, the computer went back to silent mode.
He reminds me of Angelica from Max Tech. Very smooth and professional explanation.
How about display flex cable? Is it still weakest part of laptop?
what about repairability score
Why is the Air board just half size of the Pro board?
Is there room for a custom mod fan ? (ofc voiding the warranty ) just wondering. Hmm might be possible to install a fan powered by the usb on that heatspreader and cut a hole on the back.
I wonder if Apple will ever make these things waterproof. I could see it happening with the MacBook Air which doesn’t have any fan.
But why tho? Who takes their MacBook swimming?
@@brandon_caleb anyone clumsy with a glass of water
@@keco185 a very big glass of water
@@renegade25_banhammertech_40 or you know, when you are on bike in the middle of long road and suddenly raining
@@renegade25_banhammertech_40 watch some Louis Rossmann videos, he's shown many many times that a few drops of water get into macbooks though the keyboards and kill the whole machine. A simple piece of plastic under the keyboard would waterproof it enough to prevent this.... But they'd rather make more money and E waste
Are the batteries replaceable for future repairs?
of course and mac's are the only ones where you get a decent battery after 10-15 years when you need it because mac's are the only computers that get repaired because they are the only ones that have parts available and are actually worth it. you can find mac repair shops in every city, i do not recommend to do it yourself. an Apple battery will cost you 150 with work and a cheap battery is 100 with work.
Why is the MBP logic board so much bigger than the MBA one?
i was wondering the same thing!
0:40 Safari man. No need for chrome.
Nah, not all the time. Safari does not provide enough extensions for me
Same here. I have Firefox if safari doesnt work. Last resort is going to chrome.
@@NPSvideo678 For me Firefox is always the first choice and after that i simply use edge since it is a chromium implementation by now and therefore kind of the same as chrome.
wanted this kind of video for so long, thanks!!
Anyways i got the air 2 months ago and i'm really loving it. Everything is awesome. Passive cooling works just fine with everything.
I can live with soldered on ram, but no replaceable SSD is something crazy
no, it's the standard, this ssd will easily outlast the lifetime of this device like 15 years, no problem.
It is worth the trouble to replace open up that MacBook Air M1 to "upgrade" the thermal paste, or did Apple spec a good paste?
Would be nice to have a user-serviceable battery, and perhaps an M.2 slot for additional storage. RAM upgrades will be very difficult due to the unified design, however the performance benefits this brings I think are worth the trade-off.
"User-serviceable" is not in the dictionary at Apple! :)
Right, performance over user-rights to have it serviceable. Not like I don't need my ssd replaced if it fails after a few years or so due to excessive read/write failures. Yes def worth the tradeoff ;)
I wonder how louis is reacting to these.
He doesn’t care. He knew they were all going to be un-upgradable. He knew they’d be soldered on SSD’s. He’s just waiting until the the water damaged ones start showing up
dunno but i hope he has good blood pressure meds
@@zaphenath6756 not really anything he can do about it, even with donor boards (if he can get any) there isnt much that can be replaced. RAM goes bad? thats on the SoC, storage goes bad? locked to the SoC. and he said it usually takes years to even get donor boards if he can take things off of them since they tie more and more parts to each other
M1 amazes me, can't wait for the M2 & M3!
Hold up! They had used M3 in 2015
You mean the BMW? Or was it on another product?
@@gteixeira it's an intel product, intel core m3

Can you guys make a vid about upgrading the Storage SSD / M2 ?
cant upgrade storage :P
Cant wait for the M3 MacBook Pro Competition
Memory will never come back, it is like the south bridge. All has been consolidated.
I hate the way the CPU looks. I'm used to a full square, not half of one.
Can i replace old MacBook pro motherboard with the latest M1 chip motherboard?
Can even apple fix anything beside the screen ? Like Memory or SSD or Wi-Fi adapter ? I wonder
Does the M1 Macbook pro has the the same display flex cable as the old ones? Asking because of "flexgate".
Yes, why is no one concerned about the flexgate issues.
What about other components?
How hard is it to replace the battery ? Takes 5 min on my Mabook Air mid 2012
That is my biggest concern. I just bought a space grey MBA M1 a couple of days ago and it is hands down the best Mac I've owned. I peppered the sales associate about the eventual battery replacement, he stated that Apple will do it for $129. I'm wondering if that's something I could do myself?
@@telcobilly Thanks for the reply. Have a look on RUclips. Maybe there are videos. If it's full of glue, better ask Apple / a tech.
@@Jordan_Dossou as in asking a lot of rapid fire questions.
I would love to have a look underneath that M1 heat spreader.
Can't wait to get my hands on one!
thank you!
If I wanna know repairability I need to know more about the board design and the chips, but all this guy's talking about is missing RAM modules. Which is just absurd in 2020, we haven't seen those since 2012 -_-. It also seems pretty weird to expect something else than the previous fan design. Since that kind of worked for an intel 14nm chip, it will definitely work for a 5nm ARM chip.
Big up brother I appreciate your work
I don't know how they make every thing tiny and bizarre yet their laptops are too powerful 😭
"...that will eventually run Chrome" everyone knows how Chrome craves power. I can actually see the difference when I use Safari for my work, I get more time on the battery.
If the only difference between those 2 are the function keys and the fan then why is are the logic board for the MBP bigger than the one for the MBA?
You should link the toolkit you need to disassemble these macbooks in the descriptions.
Great. Now go make a teardown video of the WF1000xm3
Been using mac for more than 20 years, not even once installed or used Chrome on a Mac...
you are smart
Love your products and videos but pleeeease just do a standard side by side comparison of the 2 products in those top down shots. Flipping it 180 degree just makes it so confusing.
Quick important question: Since the M1 chip set's cooling solution is very similar to its Intel predecessor - Just a copper heat pipe carrying heat away towards a tin stack promptly evacuated by the fan (Macbook Pro). I am wondering will the Macbook Air be able to sustain long periods of use time without over-heating (since it does not have a fan? I am a teacher by profession, and the biggest issue I run in to on a daily basis is the over-heating of my lap top due to pro-longed use-sage (the LOUD fan kicks after only 15 mins of use to the point it distrupts my class.) Ps: I do not care about performance. All I want is a device that can with-stand (and not over-heat) due to pro-longed use. Please advise which one I should get? Air? Or Pro?
Get the MacBook Pro
good day , i messed up my m1 chip macbook screen , is there a place i can buy a replacement from ?
Apple
M1 is a wild success bro.
mac adoption doubled since the introduction of this machine, that is insane, literally the best computer ever made.
I was actually watching this on my MacBook Air
great video! could you please talk more about the storage. could this new macbooks be hacked to add additional internal storage? or even an sd card reader?
I don’t agree with the complaints about the unchanged cooling solution. It’s a good thing they didn’t change it cause it’ll run cool!
What kind of thermal paste is that?
Do you think that passive cooling will throttle the cpu , will MacBook Pro be a better device ?
...GREAT VIDEO CHANNEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ....is there a cheaper powerfull alternative to apples M1 Notebooks if i want maximum power for video editing in 4k (e.g. final cut pro etc.) and lightroom for canon 6r photos? ...and would you recmoment the air or the pro? ...with 8 or with 16gb ram?
A dead CPU/PCH has never really been a viable repair anyway, Nothing has changed there so these new mac's will be just as repairable as the older ones so long as we get our hands on schematics and boardviews! All i need to know is what power rails are needed and where to test for them and i'll still be able to fix people's water damaged MacBooks.
Where is the storage? Can I upgrade it?
Maybe identify other parts of the board? Where is the flash? On the left hand side at 2:57 the MBP has a metal ridge around some components that are outlined by a dotted line on the MBA. Why? What are they? Why does the M1 on the Air have a different arrangement of resistors on the package? Any theories on how Apple is going to scale these up to support 32GB and 64GB configurations in laptops, and up to 1.5TB in desktops?
So if all the chips and memory are soldered this means that if any component gets damaged whole Logic board has to be replaced or we can unsolder the required chip and solder a new one??
Hi iFixit, how is actually mac lcd panel connector connected? i heard mac is actually had a kind of problem, is it really that fragile?
The only mechanical part... is not the fan ! There's also the hinge and flexgate !
apple never had issues with that, so, no isue
will a macbook air m1 work without a battery just with usb c connected?
why MacBook air m1 logic board is smaller than MacBook pro m1 logic board? What's the difference?
You dint cover the mac mini in the video??
Intel and arm macbook motherboard are looking control+c and control+v
because they are basically the same model, but with different chip LOL. Apple has said so in Keynote. New Macbook will come out next year with new motherboard/cooling design tailored for M1/Next gen M1 chips.
can you swap one or more of the batteries to see if they are tied to the MacBook like the iPhone batteries are?
I’m happy to see the new MBA has no fan because the low chip TDP eliminates the need.
But can we upgrade the SSD ourselves?
Does the bottom of the MacBook Air suppose to flex and make a "click" sound when the middle is pressed?
