Ideally the RAM wont be soldered on.

While we're dreaming, how about ports in the front! Miss my aluminum tower.

Still running a 2008 vintage aluminum tower at home. True story.

What software do you run on it? I'm wondering about the browser in particular.

Hopefully one standard USB 3.0 and one USB-C port on the front.

If Apple added ports to the front of the new Mac mini, they would all have to be USB-C ports (either USB 3.2 or Thunderbolt 3).

I can't imagine Jony Ive would find a mix of USB A and C ports aesthetically pleasing.
