Yes, finally Apple has fitted 16 Gig of Ram on their base model (Something the competition has been doing for years) however, they still only fit 256 Gig of storage, which is a joke in this day and age, so add another 200 to upgrade that. (Although even 500 Gig is low compared to most of the competition at that price)
Apart from the above it is a great little machine. (The Mac Mini has always been one Apples best value products)
2011, that's dodgy as Apple has no support for parts in Macs of that vintage.
