Hi guys,

I'm thinking about getting myself some third party ram (1GB possibly) and was wondering if anybody knew how much it would cost (in Aussie dollars) for an authorised personnel to install it, in a Mac Mini? (or in any Apple hardware, eg iBook, pBook, eMac etc).

Otherwise, I might just get 512MB as a BTO option since it's not that much more (1 DIMM), about $100 or so for double the RAM.

Cheers :)

The 512MB option is pretty 'cheap' considering they'll install it (and it's Apple RAM). I think I won't find an answer to my question because "nobody knows" about the Mac Mini and pricing (servicing it, repairs on the Mac Mini etc) because it isn't out yet?

1GB DIMM (with included installation costs) is too pricy, though I'd like to compare it with buying the RAM yourself and having Apple install it for you. :yes:

Edit

I'd also like to ask if anybody could tell me what the "accessory kit" includes, when purchasing the Mac Mini. It is directly following Mac OS X. What exactly is the accessory kit? :huh:

This is actually true, however it is is very easy to open up your apple min, google around for pictures and instructions, why pay some one to install something as simple. I have seen some of these so called it gurus, how barely have clue about macs in the stores, they have been on a few courses, and I am supposed to trust them with my prized mac, I dont think so. I only go to trusted mac specialists and I have known them over 8 yrs and they have been in the mac world for over 12 years.

    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug

      Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update

      Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
