It's worse. The 13" intel MBP can go up to 32 Gb, but the intel Mac Mini can go up to 64!

16 is basically useless for dev purposes, unless you're only doing web stuff. And maybe not even then, containers/vms?

I was literally about to order a new mac mini, until I noticed it only has 16GB max memory. How can they do this?! The previous model could be upgraded to 64GB, had 4 USB-C connectors (instead of now 2) and the option for faster ethernet. It really sounds like this new mac mini is a downgrade from the previous model. I wonder if the new M1 chip/architecture really makes that much difference to make up for the downgrade of the rest.
