This is going to sound cynical and overly negative but I don't understand why people keep posting about replaceable parts on new MacBooks. It'll never happen, as you admit.

I am going to replace my laptop this year. I mentioned it in a last gasp hope that it will be an Apple one. I suspect it will be something else though.

It's a pity, but I can't justify spending that sort of money on a professional tool that feels more like it was designed for the consumer market.

They sell more in the consumer market than professional market.

Maybe if Apple stock ever starts to decline significantly they'll finally implement some of the various complaints. Constantly harping on the lack of ports, the soldered in parts, and the terrible power cords lets them know people do care about those things.
