And I wish he (Apple) had designed the new 21.5" iMac so that it was at least memory upgradeable. Apple now has a disposable 21.5" iMac. Oh, I forgot, it's thin and slim. ;P

IF you can get inside, there still are sockets for the RAM. Getting to that point is a pain though on the thin iMacs. Heat Gun and a lot of time. A cover would have been nicer!

Forcing people to upgrade to the 27" iMac to have easy access to the memory slot is definitely a dumb move..a lot of people would be perfectly happy with the 21.5" screen size..and now they have to pay a crazy premium for Apple memory, which is perhaps another motivation for Apple but it doesn't take the consumers best interest to heart..

What's done is done. Can't go back and change it. I'm happy with my 27" iMac though.
