Shame on Apple.Īs I see it they benefit from it in many ways: When you buy a computer, there is an expectation that the hardware is upgradeable. I was planning on circumventing this by buying the base model, and upgrading myself, but I am glad I did the research first, or I would have been tempted to burn down my local Apple store. Looked on the main page, and upgrading from a 1TB HD to a 256GB SSD cost $200, as did upgrading from 8 to 16GB of RAM. The GF needs a new computer, and I was considering getting her one, as she is an Apple fan. On the latest iMacs you can't even replace a hard drive (or ssd) without removing the glass screen, thoroughly voiding your warranty, and gluing it back on again. (though the 27" iMac gets upgradeable RAM for some reason, at least until the 2014 model is released.
