Well Gawd Damn!!
And Apple is going to make sure you can't change anything about their products. C'mon man, they soldered the ram to the motherboard in the flagship laptop? I bet you will have to log into iTunes to change the channel on the Apple TV's or some shit. I really hope that somewhere down the line they have some consumer backlash, but alas I doubt it.
Apple stans are like house ninjas.
Boss we sick?

This is usually the case when they release a new product. Theres no competition or sales data to drive the cost of components down. So that first release is usually a risky and expensive one. Remember, the original iPhone was $500, the original Macbook Air was $1800, etc.
Good thing about this is it pushes the entire industry forward (competitors typically scramble to keep up), and as subsequent Apple models are released, things will improve, prices come down, etc..
No they won't for apple. The fucking MBP has bee the same price for all models every update. The updates hardly added anything new most of the time.
I was at work checking out the event online and I imagined what this thread would look like....
More android users in the thread than apple users
"Android has had that since 1986" repeated over and over again
References to sheep, rape, robbery, etc
Dusty wranglers
Child support
BGOL, you never let me down
This is worse than Tupac's epic rant on "Hit Em Up"
Damn!!!
I see it as them turning all of their product lines into clones of the highly profitable phones and ipod/pad gadgets.
it's great for the bottom line, but no so for innovation and the end consumer.
There is no fucking way you shouldn't be able to add Ram to a computer at your cost. This is exactly the way the ipad/pod are marketed.
After they get away with this, they will go after the high end user and workstation guys. You won't be able to replace a hard drive, add a video card, or ram. It's coming....

I agree. They are going down a dangerous path.
With the iPhone, iPods, and iPad, it was somewhat acceptable, but now you want to fo as far as trying to control laptop and PC's and homegrown customization and changes?
RAM soldered onto the MOBO is some straight bullshit
That's all I'm saying. That is all i have said bad about Apple.
I would love an iPhone that I could slap a 64g micro sd card in and roll with it.
The same thing with the Ipad. I don't always have access to streaming media (like now) and I've got 80 gigs in my Acer, 40 gigs in my Evo, and 1.25 terabytes inside my 17" laptop.
Well, I have already made up my mind to drag my sister to the apple store so i can use her School discount on a 17MBP before they are all gone. I was hoping that I could get a new one, and add the ram myself.
Oh well. Maybe Google will start making laptops...

Exactly. I don't know why these fuckers think I want my mac desktop to look like a iPhone, iPod or iPad home screen. That's why I did not upgrade to Lion.
The flash storage isn't soldered by the way.
It's removable.
It some kind of blade/stick drive.
The Mac Airs already got replacements http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Aura_Pro_Express.
They look like this
Prices are similar to traditional SSDs
The flash storage is really fast. It said to have a Samsung 830 controller, so it would be best to wait to see if Samsung or Apple offers uprades down the road.
Ram is the option you may consider to "future proof" on as it is soldered.

Apple does offer upgrades. to got from 512gb to 768gb its $500. Also to go from 8gb of ram to 16gb of ram it's $200. Now you have to remember you can only upgrade the flash storage to 768gb on the top model which starts at $2,799.00 without any upgrades. Just upgrading that brings the price to $3,299.00.

yeah, but the price is almost double that of crucial SSD's. I can get a 512 for $399 on Amazon when the price fluctuates. (It was $398 last week, $420 now) But these dudes are charging $760 for a 480 gig?
I guess you can't be choosy though. I thought that the SSD would be locked onto the motherboard like on the iPad.
Ummm the initial release of the 15" Macbook Pro was over $2000... The subsequent updates have been spec updates and the prices gradually came down with each update (the same 15" with updated specs goes for like $1700 now).
AND.. Whenever theres a redesign the initial release is typically expensive because they are usually first in the industry introduce it. Competitors sit back and wait. If it starts to sell, they copy the living shit out of it, if it doesn't they double-down on what has been selling previously.
Also keep in mind, Apple has introduced plenty of products that didn't sell, and as a result they killed it within a year or two (Titanium Powerbook, G4 Cube, Apple Hi-Fi, etc.). Each of these were expensive as hell, just like the others. The prices never came down on these because they didn't sell.
But I digress... Just trying to throw a little reality into the convo, do with it as you please homie
perfect timing to cop the last gen macbook air.
the performance bump looks minor and most people wont even really notice.

The SSD is the one part that could likely wear out in the machine's lifetime, so no they wouldn't do that. Memory for the most part is trouble free once installed, so the chances of it going out in the machine's lifetime is much smaller.
Also, look at Ultrabook memory prices instead of normal SSD prices as ultrabooks typically use a similar (but not electrically compatible) slot. They are at a similar price.

Naw, it's not. That's what influence my decision when I configured my order. As the difference between the 2.3 & the 2.6 quad core is said to be minimal, I decided to sacrifice Storage space and get 16 gigs of ram instead.
I will get larger storage down the road. I will utilize an
external for media & pictures.:

I assume we will see 3rd party flash storage down the road for the new mac. We will also most likely get an option to upgrade our SSD size in the mac store as well, for a price.
Cool, but I'm getting the last 17", put in my own 512 ssd, my own 16 gb or ram, pull out the super drive, put it in a case, add my 750 gb hybrid for storage and then slap on XP in a small partition to run Seimens PLC program to practice compiling.
Fuck I can't wait!!
Fuck I can't wait!!
This niggas said "fuck your whole family tree"... LOL..
He's treating the thread like one of his kids now.
