I just read on MacRumors that the new Mac Mini now comes with RAM soldered into the MB. Apple also did away with the quad-core i7 option. So there goes the one less expensive option for a decent Mac that doesn't cost as much as a second mortgage. I think I'll go back to a crappy Windows box next time I need to update. I need power and lots of RAM and storage for photography, and I'm not going to pay Apple 3 or 4 times more than what it will cost me to build or buy that in a Windows box.
