There's open, closed, and then there's the crap Apple pull off. None of their devices are even slightly serviceable or upgradeable. RAM, disk, battery are all, physically or otherwise, fixed for the whole life of the machine. Add the huge premiums they charge for going from 8GB RAM to 16, or similar in storage, makes the sacrifice much more bearable.
