Then in 2014 (I believe) they shrunk the Mini slightly and made the RAM non-upgradable and removed the quad core.īefore that the Mini was bestseller. … Takes a couple of minutes max (includes time for taking RAM out of packaging and admiring them… ) Go look at for example 2012 model RAM install videos, screw bottom of Mini off, no screwdrivers needed, snap off the spring clip and pull out the RAM. There WAS a Mini model you could upgrade the RAM. My order at Puget Systems is still standing by… They have left so much money on the table others scooped up. And therein lies the problem of having no competition to counter corporate laziness with a dash of cluelessness and apathy. When Apple sucks it’s a doozy since they are the only manufacturer of Macs. All I ever wanted was a 2017-18 updated Mac Pro cheese grater powerhouse and instead all we got was the run around. I have a 2014 MBP that is fully tricked out but it’s doubtful I will ever buy another portable. The Mac Mini I’d want would cost $3399 from Apple! Just to be a little future proofed You have alternatives at that price range even if it means switching platforms.Īll my interest in using Macs is for the DESKTOP, contrary to seeming trends. But unless you absolutely HAVE to use a Mac a small PC Workstation can be had much cheaper. I was hoping everyone would order the 8Gb Mac Mini model and put in their own RAM to teach Apple a lesson but with this news that idea becomes more troublesome for many.
