MINIX NEO G41V-4 unboxing & teardown




"There’s no reason for somebody to open the mini PC since the RAM is soldered (no SODIMM slots like in J50C-4) and the SSD can be installed from the opening on the bottom of the case. But I still did the usual teardown to see how the company designed the mini PC.

The bottom of the board comes with the M.2 socket, Intel 3168NGW wireless module for WiFI 5 (802.11ac) and Bluetooth 4.2 plus two internal antennas, as well as two of the DDR4 chips soldered on the board. There’s a large heatsink on the top of the board, as well as an RTC battery, a PC speaker, fan header, and another 10-pin header."
