yea that thing has been around for year, but still the fact that it will always need a monitor and other peripherals makes the idea of a tiny desktop pointless, id rather have a bigger unit with more opportunity to upgrade

You can upgrade Apples just fine, most use standard components, some things like video cards need specific drivers sometimes versions though. Ram is standard, hard drives are.. etc...
