Is the ram on the late 2014 mac mini still user upgradable?

Yeah...this *****. I just bought the base model with 4gb ram thinking I would just buy my own ram and install it like I did on my wife's mini. CRAP!!!

Yes it is, I have one (late 2012) and it is still the best mac mini out there if you want some power usage ability - the processor is still pretty **** good, and is a vast sight better than those in the new mac mini models.

I put two 8GB ram modules in it (Corsair vengeance 1600Mz)

I just purchased and upgraded on the spot at the Apple Store my new 2014 mac mini up to 3.0Ghz, top of line-16GB and the 2TB Fusion Drive. You have to have it all done at the store when you purchase it now- as they say that it is not upgradeable by the user after it has left the store.
