| ...and it looks like the news from the new MBP is not all good after all. Looks like I got sucked into the hype. Doesn't mean I'd kick one out of bed, but it's looking less sexy by the minute. http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/13/retina-mpb-ifit-teardown/ - Battery is glued to the housing. Not replaceable. I had the battery in my 2009 mbp nearly explode. this is not good. - bottom-of-the-barrel hynix ram. non-replaceable. I've had my fair share of RAM issues. if it's faulty you're S.O.L. Also once you pick your amount at the store, you're locked into it. not cool. I just recently upgraded my 2010 mbp to max ram, it gave the system new legs. - Samsung-made SSD. I didn't know samsung made SSDs. All SSDs are not created equal. Will look at performance. Also non-replaceable. Max storage is 760 GB. That's way less than a 2011 or even 2010 with upgrades (removing optical drive, adding 1.5 tb 2.5 drives etc) - display is glued to the casing. Again, that's going to be a $1200 repair. More than 90% of laptops cost these days all in all, this thing is looking more like a disposable camera and less like a $2100 laptop you could rely on for five years.
