Because all those Nokias and Zunes are really user upgradeable and serviceable right? God I am sick of this idiotic canard.

God I am sick of this idiotic canard.
- jlgreco 14y agoI can at least perform trivial tasks on them, like replacing batteries and storage.
- ebbv 14y agoStorage is a model by model issue. Some models of phones and music players have SD slots and some don't. Do you know how many times I've needed/wanted to replace the storage on my iPhones? Zero. Do you know how many times I've needed/wanted to replace the battery on my iPhones or MacBook Pro? Zero. Sure, if the batteries are crap, or the device comes with insufficient storage from the manufacturer, then those are important features because you have to correct a defect in the product. Regardless, if that capability is an important feature to you; don't buy Apple products. It's pretty simple. Getting into a righteous rage on the internet hasn't changed the way Apple designs their products for the past 5 years, what makes you think it's going to suddenly start working?
- kamjam 14y agoAFAIK, Nokia and Microsoft don't make laptops. Portable music players are comparatively cheap and disposable in comparison to a £3000 laptop.
- ebbv 14y agoRead the post I was responding to. He was talking about iPhones and iPods. Regardless, if you care about being able to change the RAM, HDD and battery don't buy a MBP. It's pretty simple.
- kamjam 14y agoTrue that, you pays your money you makes your choice. Thins is, at a few hundred pounds the iPod and iPad are almost disposable, but at a few thousand an MBP is not. I actually was considering buying one of the "lower end" MBP, but because of this it is a deal breaker. (ps. I don't own an iPad because the memory is not upgradeable or an iPhone because I cannot carry around a spare battery - I travel around a fair bit so these are important factors to me)
