ARM MacBooks with Apple M1 torn apart by iFixit

With the announcement of the new models based on the Apple M1 processor, the bitten apple has opened a new era for the Mac line, focusing everything on the optimization between the hardware and software sectors in order to offer users an advanced experience especially on the front. performance and autonomy. Merit of the transition to ARM architecture. Inside, however, what changes? Not much to tell the truth.

The MacBook ARM, inside, haven't changed much

The usual iFixit team reveals it with one of its teardowns comparing the new incarnations of MacBook Pro and MacBook Air to those already on the market with Intel CPUs. Since an image is more explanatory than a thousand words, here they are in comparison. Let's start with the Pro.



The differences are minimal. Different speech for the Air where, as can be seen, the fan has been removed for heat dissipation. A detail underlined by Apple also during the presentation phase.



The T2 chip delegated to data security has also disappeared, replaced by the Secure Enclave unit integrated in M1.

The work done by Apple is therefore appreciable not so much from an aesthetic point of view (outside or inside it changes little), but observing the results of the benchmarks that so far reward the choice to abandon Intel for the supply of the core components of the technical sheet.
