How Apple makes more profit on their systems...

[Shawn O'Shea]

www.apple.com

In the top navbar, click "Mac"

In the navbar that comes up under that click "Mac Mini"

In the Mac Mini navbar, click Tech Specs

There is a section "In the box" that describes what it comes with (which
does not include a keyboard and mouse) and there is a section called
"Graphics and video support" which describes the types of video connections
and required adapters for other types of connections. I don't call that
"withholding information"
