Hey Please don’t mind me asking - is it possible to upgrade the RAM in the new version of the Mac Mini from March 2020 as described for the 2018 Model? It would think so, but would like to make sure for my purchase. Cheers
While Apples Mac Mini RAM guide implies its not upgradable Upgrade or install memory in your Mac mini Both the 2018 & 2020 have serviceable RAM as seen here in this guide: Mac mini Late 2018 Memory (RAM) Replacement. Apple has only upgraded the CPU, RAM and Storage options in 2020 not altering the basic system design.
Be aware you will be really disassembling the Mac Mini to get to the Ram slots. After you remove the black plastic cover and get to the Torx security screws be careful not to mix them as there are different sizes for the screws. Finally when you go to insert the Ram take care to ensure the Ram is not inserted at an angle and is seated completely in the Ram slot. My roommate had to reopen his because one of the Ram cards wasn’t fully seated in it’s slot.
I did a RAM upgrade on a Mac Mini Late 2018. Take it slow and meticulously and make sure you follow the instructions. When you re-assemble the Mac, from the very first step when you insert the RAM and especially when you reconnect the cables make sure things are seated correctly and firm. I did not connect the fan perfectly and was greated with a very funny sound. It is very easy provided you have the correct screwdriver and good tweezers.
