Ordered one myself, works out to be roughly $348 AUD delivered
(free delivery is for those who are eligible)
MSY & PCcasegear = $399
CamelCamelCamel.
What kind of gumby downvotes this guys post and doesn't even reply? God voting systems in comments are the worst thing on the internet.
bellpop: no idea, sorry.
no biggie. I guess if it wasn't a designated chill day if have googled it. All good :)
If you still need to know, know you can't, it uses an Ultrabook class U-Series processor. I imagine it would be soldered onto the motherboard.
Current Mac Mini's don't use desktop parts. They use laptop chips and memory, so no.
For Apple Mac users I suggest bookmarking http://www.everymac.com/ as it gives you some pretty decent information on what the specifications of your rigs are and whether they are upgradable.
Or better yet I suggest bookmarking MSY and building your own rig :)

As far as stupid questions go, this is certainly up there, but that's to be expected from Apple consumers (for the record, I didn't neg him).
Simultaneously asking whether an Apple product is designed to be user serviceable and upgradeable and whether a desktop CPU can go into a laptop (or a pseudo-laptop in this case).
Nevermind the enigma of why anyone with a Mac Mini would be doing something with it that required more CPU power when it's a glorified media player box/overpriced HTPC.
The post-2012 Mac Minis have their RAM and CPUs soldered onto the motherboard, so they're not even removable to begin with.
Not a bad price and considering CPU's are super super rare to go faulty, v.little risk in importing.
Why is it 'free delivery is for those who are eligible'. It seems i am not legible. Who is?
AMEX card holders, but conversion rate and 3% surcharge, how much would that be?
My AMEX got charged $348.45 AUD
Thats not bad at all.
Is it better to place order in AUD or USD if paying with CBA credit card?
Can I put this on my 2013 Mac mini?
