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.

And, it pains me as much as it pains you, but quite clearly Apple don't give a fuck. I'm sure they make more margin off selling 10 iPads than they do off selling one Mac Pro. Or make more off selling two iPads than they do on a Mac mini. Neither the Mac Pro nor the Mac mini are Apple's key product lines. I'm also sure that the iPad outsells the Mac Pro by well over 10 to 1. Apple are going where the money is, and from that perspective can you blame them?
