A laptop isn't meant to be a PC, it's meant to be small, so Apple is doing their part in my eyes.
That being said... I recently replaced the HDD in my girlfriend's Macbook and was pleasantly surprised as to how easy it was.
If it comes down to a tradoff between 20% larger size OR 100% inoperability if any single part goes down... I think I would choose the larger laptop.
- jaems33 14y agoI liked what they did before: have two options for people. The slightly bigger option with customization (MacBook Pro, Mac Pro) and the streamlined clean option for those who don't want to fiddle with anything (MacBook Air, iMac, Mac Mini). The thing I'm annoyed with is the inability to swap out RAM sticks. The recent MacBook's usually allow for more RAM than Apple specifies. Theoretically, the MacBook Pro Retina model should handle 32 GB (16gb x 2). However, because the RAM is soldered, I won't be able to put that build together when those sticks are available in a few years. Which is kind of ridiculous when considering how much money ($3000+) is going into it.
