New Mac Mini doesn’t allow easy upgrades

Even though it had been neglected for months during Apple’s updates, the Mac Mini has always had a good number of fans that have long enjoyed the product for its convenient price and nice performances. Some of those, even though knowing the Mac Mini didn’t offer them a “top” hardware solution, they knew that they could easily upgrade the device with a better Intel processor: up to the last model, in fact, the CPU was installed on a traditional socket, allowing an easy replacement if needed.

With the new update, unfortunately, that is no longer possible: in fact, the CPU Intel Core 2 Duo is solded firmly to the motherboard, in the same way as in the notebook line. That means now that although the new Mac Mini offers better performances, it probably lost its appeal for those who were hoping to be able to upgrade it at a later time.
