That's quite a nice business model.
I didn't listen to the whole thing, because Youtube
inserted an advert and I shut it down, but it should be
noted that the engineering did not need to be done that way.
It was done that way because their boss said:
MAKE ME SOME HANDCUFFS
That is handcuff engineering, where purposeful non-modular
design is done, to complicate anything that happens downstream.
If you didn't do that, and you were doing this:
Base model $1000 256GB
High model $1600 1024GB
the customers would buy $1000 model and insert $100 1TB storage
from Costco their own selves, and have a $1600 computer for only $1100.
By using that arcane, non-modular scheme, that prevents
easy upgrading. Which is predictable. Without even opening
a computer and looking inside, just by looking at a price
chart, you can "predict" which parts of the machine have
HANDCUFFs in place. You can't have a pricing model like that,
if the storage has a SATA connector. If you were designing
laptops, you would instead use three different Intel processor
model numbers for your "small/medium/large" pricing model. Changing
out an Intel BGA processor is a bit risky, on low quality motherboards,
so only a few people would have the skill to offer 100% guarantee of
success.
Intel had put HANDCUFFs in their $17 processor, as part of
this sort of model of doing business. That's how you could
have an Intel-based tablet, with 1GB of soldered down RAM, and
because it was Intel handcuffs that prevented more than 1GB of
RAM from working, the manufacturer could not make a 2GB model
and differentiate. That HANDCUFF model, prevented $17 processors
from replacing Intel $300 laptop processors. It was there to
stratify the Intel ladder model. Intel has since fixed that,
by not even offering a $17 processor :-)
Conclusion: By using a poorly formed ladder model for your pricing,
and putting the HANDCUFFs on the wrong hardware component,
you come out smelling like a pig. <Shocked face>
Louis RossmanTL:DR; I watched a bit of the movie and if I get the jist, Apple screwed you by design both physical and intellectually.

Thank you for your interesting response, Paul.
Much appreciated. :-)

He's had excellent points for years. I suggested several years ago that you should check his channel out so that you could see how Apple really designs their gear that you are so thrilled with

Thank you for your interesting response, Paul.
He's repeating what I told you about your beloved Apple company several
years ago, David. Instead of thanking me though, I recall you wanting to argue about the quality of Apples engineering.
So how much of it did you actually take in and understand David? In your own words.
Much appreciated. :-)
Well, that's probably true. You should be grateful at this point that anyone responds to you at all, going by your known history.

I want to swap drives, and memory. I'd also like to replace batteries
in laptops but that seems to be going by the wayside!

I suspect bad parenting in Dustin's case.
IIRC, he had TWO dads who died on him. :-(
