All but the vintage 2012 desktop Mac minis have been nuetered in the sense they are not upgradable.

"Neutered" is a weird term. The line is due for a refresh, I think it's got an i7-4578U Haswell in its top-end machine, but that's not "neutered". Yeah, they want you to pay for upgrades themselves and that sucks, but, whatever--my 2012 one has an Ivy Bridge i7 in it and it is still plenty fast for build tasks in my (fairly price-conscious) environment.

If I needed a beefier machine, I would be making much more money and justifying its purchase.

That's the point: the current mini is worse than what you could get in 2012, due to removing the quad core option and upgradeable memory.

OK, so buy one used. It's just not a big deal for a home developer.

I'm guessing they mean the lack of memory slots in the current model.
