[QUOTE="krs, post: 1830270, member: 67742"] Just replying to your "wink, wink" with my "wink, wink" But seriously, really no different than replacing a memory chip if it has failed - not as impossible as I first thought when the OP posted that this was a possibility with his Mini. I wonder if it really was technically impossible to have provided a connector for the RAM the way Apple did for the SSD or if the decision to solder the RAM directly to the board was more a Marketing decision to squeeze some more bucks out of the buyer. What also was not as obvious to me before is how little of the total real estate the actual computer requires - the biggest part is the battery. Although I sort of knew that, it was never that obvious as when the fellow disassembled the MBa. [/QUOTE]
