If you’re keen on having a good Apple pipe dream, yes!

Apple Fan boys never cease to amaze me…
Apple is worth more than Greece’s Annual Gross Domestic Product.
Not the entire country’s assets. Duh!

[Phil Hoppes] “The Dell workstation Dimension laptops have real thermal issues.”
You mean Dell Precision?

[Jeremy Garchow] ” As far as “closing it down” the iMac has been a fairly closed computer by its very design since the beginning.”
It’s the same design, all right. The thing is, in a very recent past, and in less than twenty minutes, you could do it yourself (being just a little tech savvy). Now you need to rely on a proprietary hardware/software solution. That’s what I’m calling “closing it down” and that’s what I’m afraid will be the trend for Apple’s hardware. Does MacBook Pro battery ring a bell? And did you say MacPro? Isn’t it what was unnecessary here in the first place? Anyway, I wonder how closed down Mac computers will be in a near future, and that includes the Mac Pro replacement.

[Jeremy Garchow] “It’s not a big deal if you want to use an iMac. You shoud know going in that the iMac is a rather limited computer if you need to get to the guts of it, but thunderbolt opens it up to greater opportunities.”
Fair enough Jeremy, and Thunderbolt is great, indeed. But I was wondering as well if Apple would follow this trend in the future, with their new line of computers, you see? I took the iMac as a recent example on how Apple has created more obstacles over the years, as there has been ongoing tweaks in that model in order to close it down even more to the end user. See this for reference:

[Jeremy Garchow] “That was from May of last year,”
Well, they found out a proprietary way of doing it, and so they are selling it? The point I’m making actually is that swapping a HDD is far from a simple DIY procedure. While you have brought up that they are making money out of the obstacles created by Apple, that seems good only for them, IMO. From your “new” link:
While our hard drive solution is proprietary (read as: we’re not gonna tell you how we did it), we can guarantee that—unlike other “solutions” out there—it’s 100% compatible with Apple Hardware Test and maintain proper fan operation. -
[Frank Gothmann] “I could write up several workflows that are tried and functional on a MacPro
but will turn your life into a place of hurt on an Air or Mini.”Not to mention Apple’s efforts in creating obstacles for DIY upgrades.
One has to wonder, wouldn’t they keep following this trend in the future?https://blog.macsales.com/10146-apple-further-restricts-upgrade-options-on-new-imacs

[Bill Davis] ” Uh, it “gets it” right now. And much, MUCH better than Legacy ever did.”
Does this sound “MUCH better” to you? It does not to me…Sorry, Bill.
