Apple's new MBP dubbed "the least repairable laptop ever" by iFixit. It uses soldered RAM, a non-standard SSD, and a fused display unit. Say goodbye to cheap repairs/upgrades.

This is it: The Chosen One of MacBook Pros. While other MBPs were gifted only the standard annual updates, this particular model was bestowed with a Retina display, a thinner profile, two Thunderbolt ports, a full sized HDMI port, and less annoying cooling fans. Apple claims that this is the "best computer Apple has ever made."

Apple may have already spilled the beans when it comes to what the inside of this MacBook Pro looks like, but we aren't convinced. Join us today as we set out to see what is so significant about this special MacBook Pro.

The harder it is for an item to be repaired the more likely the person will just buy a new one, because a new one costs more than the repairs cost, so this makes them more money.
 
Apple is going down-hill lately.

If your laptop breaks for no reason and you can't repair it you won't buy the same make anymore

Oh fuck yeah they are, but their products are awesome :3
And with what you were saying Matthias, I'd gladly buy a Mac any day. I like Apple products.
