I've recommended Minis to two friends who have very basic needs. They're very happy with them. They were impressed by the size and that they could keep their existing screens. Both came from the PC world. One was mostly concerned that if something went wrong, he could put the thing in his briefcase and take it for repair.
As for memory, I seem to remember a study that showed something like only 10% of users even know they can upgrade the memory. And most of the rest will never do it anyway.
