Why are you so sure that upgradability is a requirement for a pro machine? I’m asking genuinely, not because I’m a “pro,” but because I’ve read annecdotes of pe

  Really? I upgraded by Macbook's hard drive and RAM because I can and it was available to sped up the performance, I'm still able to use it up until now and it's an old machine but the upgrade is making it last longer. I also upgraded my parent's iMac after the hard drive failed and also installed additional RAM to speed up their experience. Those aren't pro machines but day-to-day computing needs. For this price point I would have expected to be able to do these things, and knowing pros use their machines heavily and rely on it, it's a pain in the ass not to have this ability. Perhaps it's already great out of the box and nothing else is needed, it's perfectly future proof. But honestly, if the option is available to upgrade parts -- I'm sure people would love it more. In addition -- the commenter above, I'm not bashing on Apple. In fact, I am an Apple stockholder. I am only saying they have failed in many ways to satisfy the customer's needs but instead make decisions now based on the marketing and profit. You can only do that for so long until your supporters start jumping ship. My comment is more of frustration not bashing.
