The peak of the mac mini was the 2012 Mac Mini Server where you could add an extra HDD and had easy access to the memory. That was the Apple I respected.

I'm not sure I understand why the current Mac Mini's needed to be a unibody design, since it just sits on your desk.

While I am excited for the M1 chip and the future of ARM, I'm absolutely disgusted by the price gouging in the name of memory and HDD space.
