Some of the older minis were easy to upgrade as far as RAM and HDD/SSD. My 2012 model is easy, but some later models were a different story. I’ve seen videos showing how to update the latest model. It is doable if you have good eyesight and dexterity. In my case, my eyesight is getting bad and my arthritis makes it difficult to do those kind of tasks.
Apple has made it difficult to update Macs since the earliest models. In the 1980s you had to acquire really long 12” hex wrenches to undo the screws holding the case on. No big deal, but it did keep some from succeeding with a RAM upgrade. I do miss the WinTel boxes that only required a philips screwdriver and a steady hand to access everything!
