same thing that mac books now have ram soldered in.
they dont want you to fix the device they want you to play with it, and if it does break returned to them for repair not your local geek squad etc maybe yes they can fix, maybe they claim they can, but really cant.
i dont agree with it, but its apple, i expect nothing less.....
