Looks ok, and may be put together a bit better than the G4 mini from what they are saying. I didn't realise the Intel mini had an SATA hard drive.

Look after my manor, or I will bum you, literally, to death.

Looking at the MacWorld pictures, I would say that the new Mini is better laid out on the inside. Looks to be more difficult to upgrade RAM though.

It's no different than the previous design. Putty knife, clickety-clickety, add RAM.

Same as before.

You now have to remove the hard drive etc to gain access to the two slots, whereas beforehand the RAM slot was immediately accessible after removing the cover, so it is a little more involved than before.
