MGEQ2LL/A ships with a Fusion Drive (Apple PCIe flash plus a SATA hard drive).
Research notes (unverified)
- Two GPUs across the line: the 1.4 GHz model has Intel HD Graphics 5000, all others Intel Iris 5100.
- Memory is soldered. FireWire was dropped. SSD and Fusion Drive options use Apple PCIe flash that speaks AHCI (not NVMe).
- BCM4360 Wi-Fi has no in-kernel 802.11ac driver; the proprietary wl driver is the usual route.
