Since then, the Mini has become both less user-repairable and also less cost effective compared to the competition. Jobs famously introduced the Mac mini as a perfect entry level desktop to allow switchers to join the Mac community at a low price. “Mini”, as far as I’m concerned, is identical to “Air” - not fully featured and/or limited in performance.
