In a recent engadget article, Jon Fingas points out the following:

If you're planning to snag the new Mac mini and load it up with aftermarket memory, you may want to reconsider your strategy.

  According to this it is Soldered;

  So do you have a citation for the "Not Soldered, just custom" version of this story?
