I was walking a friend on migrating from windows into a macbook. They wanted to purchase the base macbook air, and then upgrade the internals as time moves on since they believe macbooks to be supported longterm rather then a windows device.
Unfortunately I had to tell them macbooks must be purchased from the factory with your desired specs as you cant do anything outside of a couple of odds and ends.
Well, they are holding off on their purchase due to pricing.
Apple isnt alone in their ways, Lenovo as well does this with ram on select notebooks (thinkpads and ideapads alike).
Will we see more makers jump on board the buy it from the factory or nothing, or will we see a subset of companies like framework rise to the occasion?
