That's exactly my thought. Hard drives and ram (and frankly batteries where applicable) should be externally accessible for service and replacement. Apple's eco-talk is bullshit until their repairability scores are on average a bit better than 1 or 2 out of 10.

- PhantomGremlin 6y agoApple's eco-talk is bullshit Apple's hypocrisy is overwhelming. Don't forget that Al Gore, who Wikipedia calls an "environmentalist" in the very first sentence, has been on their Board of Directors for many years.[1] Twenty eight years ago he wrote the book Earth in the Balance to warn us about ecological problems. He's taken millions of dollars from Apple, and together they've done jack-shit about repairability. There is some argument to be made for lower repairability in laptops, but WTF is their excuse for iMac desktops??? They're all Gulfsteam environmentalists, jetting off to places like Davos where they can cavort with others of their ilk while lecturing the rest of us on how bad things are.
