I found this article on The Verge interesting:

Dell’s Luna laptop concept is all about repairability

The keyboard and screen pop right off, no screwdrivers needed.

I wonder if the industry is swinging back this way, and if Apple will follow. Their iFixit scores, as you well know, are pretty bad at the moment.

Is change for Apple in the air? (pun intended)

I think it will take them being forced to do that. The Apple community really only has itself to blame for this, applauding and cheering on each step away from the brilliance of Jobs and the balance of function and form. Apple is back peddling on a lot of things now, mag safe, ports, etc. Personally I have trouble recommending Apple computers anymore as they are so locked down, not even RAM or hard drive updates anymore. If Apple would stop patting themselves on the back as they tell everyone how great they are they might see they are not really helping anyone, save the people who can afford the high price tag for an Apple computer.

I think at very minimum we should be able to replace/upgrade RAM and hard drives with relative ease.

I totally agree.
