These days, I purchase laptops with a life expectancy of around 2-3 years. By then, the tech will have advanced to far that I'll want a new one anyway, and prices are dropping to the point where I can justify spending $1000-1500 on a device I use 10 hours or more a day, and for my primary source of income.

These days, if I wanted more RAM, I'd just buy a new machine.

The new Macbook isn't $1000-1500, its $2200+.

Seems like a waste of money for something that's an easy $100 upgrade on pretty much every other computer in use today.
