+[* black] ***Mac mini M2 Reparability Score:*** 6 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair)
[* green] No tough adhesive holds the M2 Mac mini or its components hostage.
[* green] Use of a few common tools, disassembly is straight-forward.
[* green] The disassembly does not differ significantly from the M1 mini.
[* yellow] Apple's poor thermal paste job might prove to be a problem later on.
[* red] All I/O ports are soldered directly to the logic board. If one breaks then the whole board needs to be replaced.
[* red] Upgrading components like storage or memory are almost impossible due to the integration with the processor.
[* red] The CPU and storage are both soldered to the logic board and not user-upgradeable.
