Video Description

If Apple squeezed a Mac Pro into a Mac Mini, you’d get something that looks a lot like the new Studio Mac, I mean Max Studio, I mean, M1 Max Mac Studio. No trash can, no cheese grater, just a single block of extruded aluminum with plenty of room for fans. And ports! They’ve even included ports on the front. This feels like the Macs we used to love, in all the best ways. We’re hoping to find even more user-friendly treasures on the inside, but there’s only one way to find out…Let’s tear it down! You can take apart your $4,000 Mac Studio(and just about anything else) with our Pro Tech Toolkit! https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Tools/Pro-Tech-Toolkit/IF145-307?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=ifixitchannel&utm_campaign=MacStudioTD 00:00 Introduction 00:51 Opening the Mac Studio 01:05 Removing the Mac Studio Power Supply 01:25 Removing the Mac Studio Storage 01:34 Can you Replace or Upgrade the Mac Studio Storage? 02:08 Removing the Mac Studio’s Ports 02:31 Removing the Mac Studio’s Logic Board 02:39 Removing the Mac Studio's Heatsink 03:20 The Mac Studio’s Fans and Heatsink comparisons 3:45 A sneak peek at the inside of the Studio Display 4:06 Taking a look at the Studio Display’s webcam 4:30 Mac Studio Repairability Scoring #Apple #MacStudioTeardown #iFixit Subscribe to our channel for all our latest teardown and repair videos! https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=ifixityourself Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ifixit Check us out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/iFixit
