There are a lot of specialized features in jQuery that Minfied does not have. For example, the only way to register an event with Minified is using on(). jQuery has on() as well, but it also has a number specialized functions like 'click()' and the legacy 'bind()'.
Another example are jQuery's the complex selector/stacked set features, like 'andSelf()' or 'next()'. Minified only has simple lists and a couple of callback-using helper methods like 'collect()' and 'filter()'. If you are doing something complex and know jQuery's API well enough, jQuery is more powerful.
