Are you kidding me
First Apple stops putting CD drives into the Retina MacBook Pros.
That bugged me - and still does - but looking over the last year or two, I've used my CD drive maybe three times. I might be able to live with that.
Now I just found out that they solder the RAM to the logic board of the Retina MacBooks so instead of paying Crucial $80 for 8GB - or if this thing were able to handle 16GB, $170 for 16 - I have to pay them $100 for 8GB, $300 for 16GB, in addition to killing the time-honored tradition of taking compatible RAM from an old computer and just putting that into the new one.
BUT I HATE WINDOWS 8
Not to mention that this thing has outlasted all but one Windows laptop that my family has owned by far - it's over four years old and it's still running smooth, quick, and calm - which have died mostly from stupid design flaws, so even if I do overpay for it, I know it'll last.
It's like every few years they try and test whether or not I'm going to return to them once this thing dies.
I really hope this thing can last me another few years, because I am going to have a very tough decision to make if they discontinue the last non-retina MacBook Pro.
Also if they stopped making normal MacBooks, how is a MacBook Pro pro?
