I seriously do not understand how can it ship with a 500GB 5400rpm drive by default. This gives such poor experience to the user that Apple should have opted for all-ssd approach two generations ago. Very disappointed by that.

I don't know the actual answer, but it may be that the display actually expects 32bpp, in which case it would be over the limit by a considerable amount.
The above calculation was for 32bpp: 3 colors * 1 byte * (8 bits/byte) = 32 bits
So correct me if I'm wrong, but they appear to have done the same thing with the Mac Mini to achieve the lower price point as they did with the iMac earlier this year, by introducing a 1.4Ghz i5 model? I don't recall the base Mac Mini being as weak before...

Wow, that's quite the downgrade. What's the logic here? To save energy to keep it fanless? Or is this cost-cutting?

i just bought a mac mini a few months ago. wish i would have waited...
its been well overdue for an upgrade, if you had asked on forums everyone would have suggested you wait.

It won't because the bandwidth of TB2 cannot transfer the amount of data needed for a 5K display. The new Retina iMacs can get away with it because it can interface with the graphics output directly.
Hmmmm my math can be wrong but I don't think you are correct: 5120x2880 = 14745600 pixels 14745600pixels x 3 colours, 1 byte each = 44236800 bytes 44236800/1024/1024 = 42.19MB each frame 42.19MB per frame x 60 frames a second = 2531.25MB. TB2 has a bandwidth of 20Gbps = 2560MB/s So yeah, theoretically TB2 has enough bandwidth. But it's a very tight fit.
