Considerations & Notes

• Memory is unified and soldered — cannot be upgraded later.
• Storage is also soldered and usually not user‑expandable; external storage (e.g. via Thunderbolt SSD) is a viable option.
• For full utilization of the ports and bandwidth, use high-quality cables (especially for Thunderbolt 4 links).
• Because it is a compact desktop unit, adequate ventilation is recommended in enclosed spaces.
