APPL produces one thing much better than it's competitors. Fanboys.

I know that.....I just want to know if you can you still remove the back panels on the new Pros and upgrade the ram and drives. I can get great deals on compatible ram and an SSD.

Upgrade Ram

Upgrade Hard Drive

That depends on who you talk to.

Honestly, ram and hard drives are about the only things you CAN replace on a macbook pro. Probably the only things you don't have to buy from apple. Though I bet if you dug through all the stuff, you'd find licensing agreements with part of the sales price going to apple. Of course, depending on your POV, that's just "good business".

What else can you upgrade on any other laptop????

Batteries I guess, but I would much rather have the long lasting Apple battery than a non-Apple battery. Besides that, replacement is quite reasonable. 80 dollars to have it done.

Freak, what do you need a 4K computer for? That's insane.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the iFan(boy) 5. It's much bigger than last years model, yet noticeably slower. And it's got a new ARM processor that throws a football like a girl.

Thanks....I downloaded the user guide for the 15 pro. Interesting that it says 8 gigs is the maximum amount of memory. WTF Partial?

Can most standard rigs take 16GB today? In the next year or two, whenever Haswell comes out, I'm gonna build a 8 or 16 core machine with 16GB ram and a super fast SSD. Until then I'm stuck on this moldy overclocked core 2 box.

I bought one of those but I had to return it when it injured its shoulder.

you think backwards. You get what you get with the apple. I have the freedom to change it, and I prefer it that way.
