it seens that RAM is now in the package, making it very very hard (almost impossible in practical terms) to upgrade.
Right? Or did I miss something?
yes, right now memory is built-in into the motherboard... So you need to buy overpriced memory from Apple (and it makes me think about leaving Apple platform)
With the new macs, the RAM is on the chip. So even the mini can't be upgraded once you buy it.
