I don't think Jobs would be complete happy with computers that are becomming increasingly difficult to repair? I look at that new MBP, and wonder what's serviceable in it? Yes, I know most people don't care about the ease of repair of their computers, but all that adhesive? Call me old school, but I like screws, and a few modular replaceable components.
(I don't know what replaceable on the new MBP. It looks like one big motherboard? I might be way off base?)
I know Jobs had a great sense of aesthetics, but he seemed like he had a very rational side too? I could picture him thinking most people won't care about repairability on products under a thousand dollars? I don't think he would he would be o.k. with that same philosophy on a 5 grand computer?
I think the last thing he would want for Apple products is any scuttlebutt along the lines, "There products are great, until they breakdown?" A major part of their success is the beauty(not just aesthetic) of their hardware?
Sometimes, I really do think Jobs was Apple? Sorry, under his leadership, I don't recall many complaints/bugs not actively being solved? Yes, there were always Apple haters, but even the worst complainers had less to complain about--right up to his death? I recall, even when he was in home palliative care; he was still designing/thinking about Apple products? I know he was probally difficult to work for--maybe mean, but I really miss the man!

The trend of less 'repairable' Apple devices was around during during Jobs' time as well. I believe that Jobs, and the rest of current Apple just don't care as much about people opening up MacBooks as much as they care about making thinner, faster, more attractive devices.
