[Snazzy Labs] The $600 Mac Mini is a Steal—Until It’s a Scam (youtu.be)

I remember in 2007, buying my first MacBook. It came with an enormous 2gb of RAM. I asked about upgrading it. The guy leaned in conspiratorially and told me that Apple's RAM upgrades were a rip-off, and that I'd be better of buying it elsewhere. So I did, for half of what Apple were asking.

This is a grift that Apple have had for far too long, and there's a part of me that's convinced that their move to soldered RAM was to stop people upgrading after the fact more than it was about SOC efficiencies.

Very smart.

Apple knows Apple customers don’t buy no stinkin base model.

They buy “Pros”, “Plus”, and “max” models, …..because they are important people, working on big projects and need the extra power
