What do they mean 'virtually non-upgradable'? It's actually non-upgradable! Annoying that I can't upgrade the RAM though, that's the only part I've changed in

Annoying that I can't upgrade the RAM though, that's the only part I've changed in recent years - because it's so much cheaper DIY.
- llgrrl_ 14y agoBecause it is upgradable. You just have to have the expertise to do it. Soldering a SMD component, while not exactly something that everyone can do, is indeed doable. Disclaimer: I can solder some SMD chips...
- reeses 14y agoOWC has SSD upgrades for the 2011 MBAs (I bought one the day before the announcement–I should have waited until suddenly it became an obsolescent part) and I suspect they will develop the same for the new flat flash sticks. They also have a USB/fw/esata carrier for the old drive. It's all memory anyway. Registers, cpu cache, ram, "hard" drive, etc. I'm happy any time more memory gets closer to the CPU.
