What does suck about this from the consumer standpoint though is now when ordering if you want to upgrade a component from the base model you pay Apple prices to do so. For example Apple has historically overcharged for RAM and hard drive upgrades, so many users would order the base and then install upgrades on their own to save a bunch of money. Now you pay what Apple says you pay.
