If only this was doable for the new MM. Audio guys need 32GB but don't need 5K. Most don't even need a monitor as they already have one. So this is amazing for photogs and video editors but not so good for the audio guys. 32GB for a MM or even a non retina iMac would be so amazing. Sort of stuck with 16GB MM or an iMac with a display you don't need and zero portability that you get with the MM. Dang, so close yet so far.
I bet you anything it voids the warranty.
Apple gives you a door to pop open to replace RAM. They offer step by step directions on replacing the RAM. What makes you think replacing it would void your warranty?
Audio guys need 32GB? That seems excessive. There's still guys running all 32 bit DAWs.

You don't know what you're talking about.

RAM prices have't been that low in a couple years. They were super low in 2012 though.
Yes, I do. You didn't follow the context correctly. Unauthorized modification, in this case, OWC upgrading the new Mini to a quad core as suggested by FloatingBones, would void the warranty as it would constitute an unauthorized modification. Apple specifically disclaims the warranty in the event of unauthorized modification.
As for adding RAM to the iMac, of course it does not void the warranty, as Apple provides instructions on how to do it and explicitly lists the RAM as being user-serviceable. The RAM is, IIRC, the ONLY user-serviceable part on the iMac.
RAM upgrades aren't unauthorized. Look it up. Call Apple. Do a live chat. Ask them yourself.
What is everyone's estimated delivery dates for their new iMac?
Mine is 29th-31st. Wondering if that's normal

Try reading what's written.
I wrote that an (as yet hypothetical) OWC quad-core upgrade to the Mini would void the Apple warranty as an unauthorized modification. In the next paragraph, I write that Apple explicitly does permit users to upgrade RAM on the iMac by providing instructions on how to do it and by listing RAM as a user-serviceable part.
Oh, Mini. Thought you were talking about iMacs. I put no thought to the Mini. I kinda forget it even exists.
Mine says 28-30th but I got the i7 chip, 3tb fusion drive and 4 gb video memory
then you don't do audio lol
Audio guys certainly could use 32GB more than photogs. That's not even a debate. Video guys and photogs don't NEED 32GB. But it sure is nice.
That is a very decent price!
Shame Apple was "Thinking Different" with respect to the new MacMini

OK, I bet you $1 million it doesn't.
Depends on what you're talking about.
If upgrading RAM on an iMac, you'd win.
But if talking about OWC offering a (hypothetical) quad core upgrade to the new Mini, yes, it would.
I did.
He said he bets that it voids warranty and you said it does.
Nothing to indicate sarcasm or a joke either.
