[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue with Apple laptops is that none of the ones made in the last decade are upgradable at all, and that they are basically not repairable by the end user. You are stuck with the RAM and storage that come with the device, and even a battery replacement is complicated enough that it pretty much has to be done by an Apple authorized repair center (at inflated prices). On pretty much any other laptop, a battery replacement takes no more than fifteen minutes and can be done for the cost of the battery by anyone who can operate a screwdriver. All of this is fine if you know these things when buying one and can accept non-upgradability and expensive repairs, but many don't know this and are disappointed later.[/quote] That's not really true any more. Dell and HP business laptops are basically fixed configuration anymore. If you want some configurability you need the top of line developer models, but they are a dying breed. [/quote]
