When I saw this video, posted today by MacWorld [ http://www.macworld.com ] showing how easy it is to upgrade the RAM and the hard drive in the new MacBooks, I was thrilled. It’s exciting that Apple has embraced some modicum of consumer-upgradability in its newest portable, and shown that they’re not entirely committed to closing off the innards of their systems as something magical and mythical that only trained AppleCare service professionals can mess with. And according to the video, it’s actually much much easier to work with than you might think:

If it’s really that easy to do your own upgrades, I think the MacBook very well be a winner on the consumer end, and it might prove itself to be a notebook that purchasers can rely on for a long time.
