Community thoughts on the M2 Mac Mini Teardown score?

A while back I had assisted in transcribing a teardown of the M2 Mac Mini. At the time I felt that the device was worthy of a 6/10 reparability score based on the facts that the device had no tough adhesive, everything uses a few common tools, and how the disassembly process does not differ too much from the prior M1.

However, I do feel that their is some push-back with the scoring of the M2 Mac Mini, as the M2 Mac Mini does lack many of the upgradability features as the 2018 model. Which is why I want to put it to a community vote. I definitely want to make sure that the content I write for the site is something that reflects accuracy with how reparable the device is, and hopefully this can improve how I score future devices.

Overall, I'd give it a 4/10. Nothing is upgradable directly, but you can replace the logic board with a higher grade logic board (providing you can find one). Unfortunately, from personal experience, finding an upgraded logic board for a Mac mini is its own special joy.
