    Nah it’s not technical reasons, it’s just greed and form over function, the new MacBook Neo proves that if Apple wanted to they can make a user repairable and even upgradable laptop, they don’t because the EU hasn’t forced them yet

      How does the new MacBook prove that? The way their processors are made it’s impossible to upgrade RAM after the fact.

          Yeah I assumed that’s what you meant. That machine still uses an SoC with embedded ram. It’s not possible to upgrade it.

          It’s more repairable than previous designs, which is great, but that’s different than being upgradable.
