Comment on Even Apple finally admits that 8GB RAM isn't enough

Yeah, the soldering is outrageous. I miss the time when Apple was a (more) customer friendly company. I could opem my Mac mini 2009 and just add more RAM, which I did.

When I bought my first MacBook in ‘07 I asked the guy in the store about upgrading the RAM. He told me that what Apple charged was outrageous and pointed me to a website where I’d get what I needed for much less.
I feel that if Apple could have soldered the RAM back then, they would have.

Apple used to ship repair and upgrade kits with guides on how to apply them. Not sure they were as anti-repair then as they are now.

Embrace, extend, extinguish is an attitude for more than one company I guess.
