1. Remove the bottom plate
Getting inside of this laptop is pretty easy, provided you have a Pentalobe screw bit. So, there are 8 screws holding the bottom panel in place. After you undo them, lift the sides of the panel with a plastic tool until you hear a pop. Now that you have released the clips, just slide the panel out of the machine.
2. Battery and speakers
Unfortunately, there is nothing much to do here, except for peeking inside. The battery has a 100Wh capacity. On its flanks, you will find the speaker setup.
3. Storage
Storage-wise, there are configurations spanning from 512GB all the way up to 8TB, with the chips (and the empty SSD chip space) visible above the battery.
4. Cooling system and memory
What’s next is the cooling solution. Apparently, Apple thinks that one heat pipe is enough for the M1 Max, as they provide two heat sinks, and two turbine-stile fans with a quite big profile. Thankfully, the memory is also cooled by a metal heat spreader.

And now, it has found its way to the 16-inch MacBook Pro and is more powerful [...]
