> Even if Apple can't make the machines more upgradeable because of customer support issues, As I understand it, it isn't a customer support issue but a physical limitation issue for what processing power these machines get. They are built with soldered components which means no upgradeability with the flip side being that the performance is 5 years ahead of the direct competition. In other words...you can't upgrade but you won't need to like you used to. It's a paradigm shift.

And who told them to make the enclosure out of a garbage can? Their base model comes in at 3k. They are well behind anything I would build for 3k, sans the garbage can case.
