1. what you did not mention is that mac mini has a very good sound card, much
   better than on macbook. i don’t know about imac i did not check. and i
   assume it’s 2014 version since it’s in apple shop and its near christmas
   although i need to find out. but ye sound card on mac mini is very good.
   also i don’t understand why it’s always set to minimum quality, needs to
   open audio midi setup application and set both hz and bitrate to best
   options. i don’t know why macs stay on best option by themselves. weird,
   anyway the sound is really excellent on mac mini 2014, they don’t say
   anything about it but i connected my headphones to it it sounds very good.
   sound on macbooks in comparison is really not that good. and on ipads is
   not that good either. it will play clearly but it will not output all
   dynamic range of the headphones, only mac mini does.
   i wonder if it’s only because of a better sound card and wheather i could
   buy an external sound card that good. apple does not mention anything about
   sound card but it’s definitelly a lot better than on macbooks, i’m not even
   mentioning the ipads and iphones cause sound on them is almost the same or
   similar as on my iphone 3gs. the sound card on iphones and ipads is really
   basic there in comparison to mac mini new one.

7. 2014 mac mini is *not* upgradable.

8. In American dollars a 8 GB RAM will cost you $999. That’s insane.

   • No it doesn’t

9. What is the point of this device ?

   • you don’t say

   • +Luke Marples and also because it’s quiet and uses very little power it’s
     great to use as a computer you have on all the time like if you want to
     download torrents files 24/7

10. There’s always a hope that a “Hack Mini” might come into play to get around
    the “Apple Tax” and lack of aftermarket upgradability. :)

11. Why does no one talks of i7 Mac Mini?!

12. Basically this machine is focused on entry level Mac users.
