[QUOTE="Doug b, post: 958760, member: 59143"] You're actually... mostly right. This only stands if one is ordering their MacBook Pro online. Otherwise, the price for an upgrade AFTER the initial purchase stands as such: 4 gigs of Apple branded memory ALONE (via apple.com) for a 13" MacBook Pro is $200 See here: [url=http://store.apple.com/us/memorymodel/ME_13_226_MBP]Memory - Apple Store (U.S.)[/url] 4 gigs of RAM from a third party vendor is $100 In fact... A 4 gig module (ONE module) from Apple costs $400, whereas for $239, you can get one module of 4 gigs of ram from newegg: [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010170381%201052939102%201309239101%201309139889&name=4GB]Here[/url] Tell me that's not a big difference. Even bigger yet, is the fact that Apple sells 8 gigs of RAM for $[b]800[/b] while you can get it at Newegg.com for $400. Furthermore, I don't see any MacBook Pro Hard drives for sale on the Apple.com store site. And let's say that Apple did sell a 320 gig HD for the MacBook Pro.. I doubt it would cost $100. More like $200 But again, a third party vendor sells a 640 gig HD for [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136459]$124[/url] Or, a [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010150380%201309740009&bop=And&ActiveSearchResult=True&Order=PRICE]500GB drive for $87[/url] It's a significant amount of savings as well as more product for less money.
