How much does it cost to upgrade a mac mini?

Question

Mac Mini

stock minik 11th year

DDR3 RAM 1333 MHz with a capacity of 4 GB
on the Apple website it is said that it can be expanded up to 8 GB,
but on Avito such minis with 16 GB

will approximately cost to replace the memory with 16 GB and add a 250 GB SSD?
the question arose because you need to understand how much a used upgraded minic can be more expensive than stock

, let's say there is a stock for 11
and there is with 16GB, a 250GB SSD for 20
does it make sense to pay that much or is it cheaper to buy and insert it yourself?

Answer 1

1) "approximately how much will it cost to replace the memory with 16 GB and add a 250 GB SSD?"
look at the prices in the networks available to you. memory - 5-6 thousand. disk - 3-4-5. it’s better to immediately take it for 500.
disassembling and replacing the disk yourself, if you have never done it - half a day - with watching iFixIt, carefully preparing the place, photographing the node that you are disassembling and writing down which screw is unscrewed from where (this is important).
in general, nothing complicated at all, banal attentiveness, accuracy, access to YouTube, straight, non-trembling hands and a set of screwdrivers / hexagons.
in general, in comparison with the prices announced to you for an upgraded version - something for that. I'd take a clean one and upgrade it myself. Well, or bargain, a couple of thousand can be bargained.
0) does not specify why you need this rather old computer at all. are you sure you need it? in extreme cases, in the region of 20 you can find a stock 12 year, this is already a more interesting purchase .... although of course the question is in the purpose of use
