Just one more point to show Apple is just retarded. With their newest designs for laptops, they effectively remove the user's ability to upgrade their own laptop. Sure you can probably do it with the right tech experience, but it will void the warranty and they specifically recommend all new MacBooks be upgraded by Apple. Hmmm.... sounds like they are doing all these monopolistic things to keep any and all possible upgrades and the resulting high installation fees going to them rather than buy the ram on NewEgg and install it yourself for much cheaper.

Is that why the user's manual for the new MacBooks and MacBook Pros has instructions for the user on how to replace the battery, change the hard drive and upgrade memory? Also, unless you damage your computer while doing the upgrades, it has no effect on the warranty. Sure does sound like effectively removing the user's ability to upgrade, doesn't it?
