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. Macminicolo owner Brian Stucki (among others) has discovered that the RAM in Apple's latest tiny desktop isn't upgradable, much as you'd expect with the company's laptops and the 21-inch iMac.

    Buy the Mac loaded up with all the memory you might ever need. If you're wanting to load it up with aftermarket memory, that means cost is a big issue for you, which means you probably shouldn't buy Apple products in the first place.

    Exactly. I don't even know why Apple bothers listing prices in their stores. You should be happy to pay whatever Apple demands when you get to the cash register, in fact you should just hand over your credit card without them telling you the total. If this doesn't sound right to you, then you have no business being an Apple customer.

    No, that's not what I said. You know what the price is and you know you can't cheap out with aftermarket memory. If you don't like it, don't buy it. You can still get the memory you need, you just have to pay Apple for it. A high price or a feature you don't like is not the same as blindly paying whatever or not knowing the price. You know the price, you know the deal with the memory, and you know this is Apple being Apple.
