It said that the new Pro was the most locked down version Apple has ever had. Components are either solder in or glue in and removing for an upgrade or repair was unwise.
I think the article was on cnet, or zdnet or liliputin but haven't time to check.

Anyway, my point is that Apple is reverting to the old Apple under Jobs the First.

I sent the article to a son who does upgrade his Mac Pros memory at least. Buys on Amazon and then upgrades the memory. I will look at my mail later.

"Want to upgrade that 'Retina' MacBook Pro? Tough luck"

"Summary: iFixit have given the new MacBook Pro a reparability score of 1 out of ten, calling it "virtually non-upgradeable".

"Did you rush out and order a brand new 'Retina' display MacBook Pro immediately following their unveiling at the WWDC 2012? If you did then you'd better have loaded your purchase up with all the RAM and storage you'll need, because you're not going to be able to add any more once you get it.

The folks at iFixit have managed to get their hands on a new 'retina' display MacBook Pro and took it apart to see what makes it tick. What they found doesn't bode well for anyone planning to attempt a repair or upgrade on their new MacBook Pro. "
