Apple It's getting a little bit predictable, but Apple has reported yet another stellar set of quarterly financial results. The company has sold more Macs and iPhones than the same quarter last year, but sales of the iPod were down compared to the same quarter last year. Profits and gross-margins were also up.

Because he might have an iMac/Mac Mini/Apple TV/MacBook Pro/Time Machine… Plenty of models of those series do not have user access to hard disks.

Oh come on, the Mac Mini isn't that hard to open up and get to the hard drive. The ram is a bit trickier, but still easy enough if you have even the slightest knowledge of computer internals. The macbooks, as well as the iMac, are dead easy. Some older Pro models and iBooks were not as simple, but even in those the ram at least was a quick upgrade. I don't have a time capsule, but in all seriousness, you know how big the time capsule is when you get it and if you want something bigger or more flexible your best bet is to run your own backup server over AFP or get an airport extreme and connect a USB drive of your choosing to that.
Every OEM gouges for ram and hard drive upgrades, it's as simple as that. It's always going to be cheaper to do that yourself.

All those models have user-access to hard disks.

Er, no they do not, unless you want to void your warranty right away.
