Yes, a RAM upgrade is now much easier as it was before (it was never exceedingly difficult though), but exchanging the harddisk is kind of tricky with the current model.
Another option for Joachim: If mobility is also of interest think of a Macbook (performance is equal to the Mini) or a Macbook Pro plus an external monitor. In any case, look for refurbished Macs online in the Apple Store, they are usually as good as new and have the full Apple warranty.
