HP Mac Mini. This is actually interesting, when Apple switched to max 16 Gb of ram on their PRO line, HP throws something with PRO graphics and Xeon.

Apples and oranges. Intel's mobile Skylake processors don't support more than 16GB of low-power RAM; Apple didn't have anything to do with that limitation.

This is a boxy desktop, not a mobile machine.

I up voted your response as it's correct, but for anyone who doesn't want to believe, here's a fully referenced post I made a while back with specific references in the Intel documentation:

Intel's mobile processors like the ones in the Macbook Pro support up to 64 megs of ram. Their ultra low power cpus only support 16 gigs, but the line in question goes up to 64, even with ddr3l ram.

Or Apple could have used pro RAM in the MacBook Pro.

Too bad this doesn't have a built in hires display and a keyboard so we could compare orange to oranges.

You're forgetting the cheap Chinese external power brick that you will be tethered to, also...

I've been looking around my Mac Mini and my friend's Mac Pro for hours now.

I couldn't find the hires display.
