You mention laptop features for the sake of putting the Mac mini down?
No, I mention them to again prove they're different.
It can't have iSight since iSight goes above the monitor.
Seriously?
It doesn't need a battery and a sudden motion sensor, it's a desktop computer.
Well a minute ago, user-serviceable HD/RAM was considered a
laptop feature... lol. You're all over the place.
As for not having user-friendly HD and RAM bays, I keep hearing about the problem with the MacBook Pro.
Who the hell is talking about MacBook Pro here? Just you.
Lose.
And user-friendly bays or not, that doesn't change the hardware specifications nor will it makes programs run better.
I guess that's a curious euphemism for "okay, I'm wrong". Because I'm damn sure being able to add a faster HD and more RAM
will change hardware specifications and
will make programs run better. That particular line of yours is just so wrong it's ridiculous.
As for the Mac mini still being stuck with GMA950 and 3GB max RAM, you're right but that's because Apple hasn't updated it since the intel switch. It was on par with the MacBook at the intel switch. The MacBook only had one revision since then but the Mac mini hasn't had any. CPU/Hard Drive capacity upgrades aren't new revisions of motherboards.
Revisions, upgrades, updates, be picky and call them whatever you want, but MacBooks have seen four, count them, FOUR Intel "offerings". The initial Core Duo, Core 2 Duo, "santa rosa" last Nov and most recent "penryn" flavour this Feb.
Intel Mac Mini started as Core Solo/Core Duo, then Core Duo as standard, then most recently Core 2 as standard - over a year ago. That's not "santa rosa" Core 2 either, as it can't address 4GB. So it's currently sharing the MacBook architecture from 2006. And you're still going to try and say they're somehow similar?
MacBooks are way ahead of Mac Minis. I'm not particularly against Minis, I've owned two, they're great for sitting under an HDTV rather than

tv imo, but they're dated as hell and I have just as much success plugging a MacBook into a display then taking it with me when I'm done. And I
am done. Good god, just... stop.
