The mini can take 2 2.5-inch hard drives and (unofficially) 16 gigs of RAM. Like I said elsewhere, I do not consider the mini suitable for software development or other demanding tasks.

Software development is not a CPU demanding task by any stretch of the imagination.

Professional programmers get just fine on an Air, much more so for a Mini --not to mention with 5 times slower machines just 3-4 years ago.



>Software development is not a CPU demanding task

OK. Change my "software development" to "compiling very large codebases".
