I’d try the crazy upcharge for better specs. A base Mac mini is competitively priced at like 700€ and then they want a whopping 500€ extra for additional 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD.
I used to work at the Apple Store from 2007 to 2012 I think. A large part of that time I was a One To One trainer, back when that existed (Before that, I was an iOS device tech aka “Family Room Specialist”). A lot of people would come in with brand new computers they bought or looking for help to upgrade their computer to a newer model, and I would of course assist, and every single time, when they asked me if they should do the ram upgrades, every single time, I told them no. And I told them go to crucial.com and I will help you pick out the correct RAM and I will fucking install it for you when you come into your next appointment. Obviously this was back when RAM was user configurable. Boy those were the days.
