Agreed regarding the lock-in factor. They are not the first ones to do that though.

Edit: on a second thought, I'm not 100% sure regarding the form factor of hard drives but I once had a Lenovo that had a Lenovo-specific mount on its hard drive, making it impossible to reuse.

FWIW, it's not a complete lock-in, since you can purchase non-factory SSD upgrades from OWC: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/Aura_Pro_Express
