If I buy a Mac Mini M2, with 8GB RAM, can I get Apple to put in more RAM later?
I may want to upgrade RAM later. Is it possible?

I know that everyone says 8 GB RAM is not enough but believe me it is . . . unless you are a high end professional editing 8K all day long with tight deadlines.
I have been using a 2017 iMac with 8 GB RAM for the past 7 years editing 1080p and 4K videos with no problems in Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve.
A month ago I got the cheapest M2 Mac mini and it blows the iMac out of the water being at least 3 times faster.
Don't worry about the small 256 GB SSD either as you can buy high quality USB 3.0 SSDs of 1 TB for £50 - £80.
If you buy an M2 with a 1 TB SSD installed it will set you back a further £400.
I respectfully disagree. I've owned the Mac Mini M2 with 8 GB memory for about 8 months now and while the M2 chip is blazingly fast (i can't believe how quickly i can encode video in HandBrake, for instance) the 8 GB memory is a hurdle. I receive "out of memory" errors relatively often, resulting from simply too many apps open at the same time. Yet they're apps I kind of need open, so it's frustrating.
Hey Ian
What displays do you use for your Mac Mini's?
I am in the process of getting a Mac Mini M2, so I am shopping for a new display as well
Thank you
Any 1080p monitor should give really sharp images unless it is defective.
Thanks for sharing that, if you try m2 Mini with 4K monitor, could you tell us the feeling of the difference, thanks
I’m looking to upgrade my 2019 iMac to the mini. I’d like to continue to use the iMac as a monitor but I’m being told by Apple Store employees that it is not possible. Any thoughts.
Soldered? Really?
It’s fabricated into the chip.
