I am okay with Macs, but “Apple just won’t sell stripped machines,” the Mac Mini doesn’t even come with a mouse or keyboard. That is stripped. I’m okay with it, but it is stripped.

Remember, the Mini is targeted on switchers who already have a monitor, keyboard and mouse. The Mini also is selected as a home media server that does not need the additional peripherals...

Apple is plenty happy with their business plan, and the cash in the bank speaks volumes...

Mac Mini is what it’s advertised to be. If you have a monitor, keyboard & mouse, you can buy a Mini and do pretty much anything you want in a rock solid OS right out of the box. It’s got a lot of punch to come in such a small little, box.

No, it's not stripped. The core components are there. The specs are equivalent to the MacBook, maybe a little better. All the software's there. Having to bring your own monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the party does not constitute a stripped product.
