While I agree with you, when your current Mac is older and relegated to media PC duty, are you going to need more than the 8 or 16GB of RAM it shipped with? As for batteries, it&#x27;s almost the exact same price to buy a battery a replace it yourself as it is to have Apple do it, and you don&#x27;t have to deal with proper recycling (hopefully you would.) I&#x27;m hoping we see a reverse trend but who knows.
