Final Thoughts
  • Mac mini Late 2018 Repairability: 6 out of 10 (10 is easiest to repair).

  • No tough adhesive holds the Mac mini or its components hostage.

  • Using fairly common tools, disassembly is straight-forward.

  • The mini packs standard SO-DIMMs allowing both DIY upgrades and replacements.

  • The CPU and storage are both soldered to the logic board and not user-upgradeable.

  • If any of the many ports is damaged or worn, the entire logic board will need replacing.
