To give you a comparison, Corsair will see you two of the 16GB 2,666MHz DDR4 SODIMM’s used inside the Mac mini for £250. However, Apple made a huge song and dance about the Mac mini supporting up to 64GB of RAM at Tuesday’s launch, which indeed it does – but you’ll pay a stinging, entirely unjustifiable premium to get it pre-loaded on your Mac mini.Īs you can see from the screenshot above, boosting the memory all the way to 64GB adds an outrageous £1,260 to the price – more than doubling the cost of either of the default specs. Even the slightly punchier £1,100 spec only ships with 8GB. The base spec of the new Mac mini comes with a meagre 8GB of RAM – what I’d regard as the bare minimum for a new computer in 2018, let alone one costing £800. It seems unlikely, but given the way that Apple is pricing RAM upgrades in its newly revamped Mac mini, it’s the only logical explanation.
