iFixit's teardown of the Mac Studio found a monstrous thermal management system attached to a relatively small computer, among other things.

The teardown video depicted a somewhat complicated but not insurmountable process for getting inside that little metal rectangle, and there weren't too many surprises. The video identified some ports, showed the removal of the logic board, and perhaps most notably, uncovered a dual-fan cooling system inside the machine.

Further, iFixit talked about the much-discussed SSD swapping situation. It is possible to swap out of the storage provided you're using storage of the same size and type, at least—but that requires using a device firmware update (DFU) restore. (Read our article on the subject for more about that.)
