$200 for an extra 8 GB of RAM is hardly a huge premium, and at that point you're rocking 16 GB.
Folks are vastly overreacting to the lack of upgradability. Seriously, what in the next 3-4 years, is going to require significantly more RAM than we have now? If you think having 16GB is important, get it now, and realize that amortized over 4 years, that extra $200 cost you a whopping $4 per month..oh noes.
How about all those non-socketed chips on every single laptop motherboard out there? How come iFixit isn't up in arms about the fact that a single chip failure on any modern laptop means a hugely expensive motherboard replacement, including the soldered in CPU.
Seems like a non-story, from a company (iFixit) that is in the business of selling tools and parts to take these machines apart.
