What hardware are they adding to make it adequate, Edwin? I.e what hardware is the Mac mini lacking?

The hardware with which to automatically significantly increase the time that it takes to burn a CD-R by requiring multiple passes (up to 10) to create a temporary disk identifier (since it is known to fade away over time with exposure to normal light), which makes this hardware feature utterly useless in the long run.

Afterall, the alternative is to select an inkjet printer that can also print to CDs, which makes the marking more permanent and in color ... or to invest a whopping 79 cents for a Sharpie marker :-)
