Rather Bizarre?
Upgradeability
A teardown of the 2014 Mac mini revealed that user-installed upgrades for the machine range from difficult to impossible. The RAM is soldered and thus not user replaceable, and while the hard drive is accessible, it is located behind a practically non-removable cover that's protected with Torx Security screws.
The 2014 Mac mini earned a repairability score of 6 out of 10, worse than the 2012 Mac mini's 8 out of 10 score.

- Not sure why "music server for $4-$5k" would be mentioned in the same breath as Mac Mini. - carcass93 09:02:13 02/3/15 (0)
