"Sorry but you have got to be a fucking idiot to buy one to be honest if that is the case."

This is just technology marching on, it is cutting edge engineering and manufacturing and Apple care is next to none in the industry. To call a person buying this a fucking idiot is akin to an old timer smacking down the youngsters about modern TV's because you can no longer swap out the valve tubes.

I disagree. It's medicre crap wrapped in a pretty wrapper.

The thing with modern TV's is that they don't need RAM upgrades, don't have any user-fillable storage built in and have external power supplies.
