The RAM isn't easily accessible and requires a little know-how in order to gain access and change it out. While the RAM is a standard sized SODIMM module and replaceable by anyone who buys a 2018 Mac Mini, it's far from as simple to accomplish as it used to be. Invest an hour of your time instead of hundreds of dollars for the same end result.

Even at the 16GB level, you're saving $100, and that's not an insignificant amount. You could upgrade to 32GB yourself and save about $400 in the process.

And that's never been close to as cheap as you could make the same upgrade for yourself. When it wasn't user replaceable, if you wanted more RAM you were stuck paying what Apple wanted to charge you for it. After all, it’s a reality that any upgrade comes with risks, and nobody wants to see damage to their Mac. Many Apple users will be happy getting an upgrade at an Apple store or doing so via a tech professional. It's unlikely most will ever need that much, though, and kits are almost impossible to find, too. Apple advises allowing an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider to do the upgrade. The Mac Mini can accept two modules, which combined can be up to 64GB. The Mac Mini uses standard SODIMM DDR4 modules, more commonly found in laptops.
