    Anyone know how upgradeable it is? Can you swap out video cards, cpu, ram and hds easily? I'd hate to think they went apple on this and closed it off or used non standard sized parts (or worse, soldered anything on).

    • The 980M card isn't really that fast especially when pushing 4K res, and that's the highest end model.monospaced
    • Studio's internals aren't upgradable like on a tower PCsted
    • judging from the size of the computer I'd say no upgrades other than hard diskernexbcn
    • I would like to think the RAM and SSD would be changeable - using PCI SSD's for example.face_melter
    • i think the SSD is replacable, ram maybe: http://www.technobuf…sted
    • Damn. Eventually would suffer the same as macs then.monospaced
    • Exactly — the whining about Apple's non-current GPU, etc. and non-upgradability also applies to Surface products. This appears to be the new PC market.evilpeacock
    • Computers are becoming appliances. You have to spend more out-of-the-gate and if upgrades are needed, completely replace every 2-3 years.evilpeacock
    • Even more reason to go hackintosh then.monospaced
    • Dell just released an XPS that looks like a Mac from 15 years ago: http://www.dell.com/…formed

    • i imagine the number of people who upgrade and swap things (not including the hard disk) on a laptop are very small.inteliboy
    • the armchair engineering, management and marketing of big tech companies from internet nerds is astonishing.inteliboy
    • our gadgets would end up like this if it was up to forums and reddit: http://vignette4.wik…inteliboy
    • This isn't a laptop.monospaced
    • true. you're right.inteliboy
    • It comes down to the amazing form factor and the idea of replacing the WHOLE THING just because you want to upgrade performance one day.monospaced
    • Because honestly, I think the form factor and touch function is amazing.monospaced
