How do we know RAM is soldered? And if a Fusion Drive is offered why wouldn't it have room for a standard 2.5" SSD?
Good questions.
There's no admonition about getting the RAM you want when you order, as there is with the MBPs.
I would guess that if you don't order one with a Fusion drive, you can *probably* add cables and whatever to install an SSD. Apple could use a different mono that didn't have the needed connectors for the SSD portion of the Fusion drive. I don't know that it would be cost efficient for Apple to do so.
This is pretty much the mini that many of us were afraid we would get.
