smartco which is an allied support organization for smmug supports mac
users well whether they take these steps or not. If similar organizations
exist locally researching what will and won't void warranties may prove
worthwhile. Another consideration is the actual value in action of any
computer warranty. That is to say, when the rubber meets the road how
well do computer sellers and manufacturers perform? Answers to this last
question can be found on sites like consumeraffairs.com and
consumer-rports.com.

Hi Jude,
Doing so, however, will likely void a warranty or Apple Care plan. If all
you care about is saving money, then that may be for you, but if you want to
maintain your warranty or Apple Care status, you need to be careful following
such advice. It wouldn't be worth it to me, personally. What little extra I
paid for the extra RAM in my MacBook is more than made up for by the great
service the company gives. I've had extremely positive experiences with
Apple repair service, and I certainly wouldn't have wanted to give that up to
save 50 bucks or so.
It's all in what's more important to you.

Wrong again. smmug which is the mac user's group I'm part of here in
Southern Maryland routinely advises would-be purchasers of macs to buy the
minimum from Apple possible to save money. They also know of and have
aftermarket sources for new owners to upgrade memory and just about
everything else inside those mac computers. The cases appear sealed but in
Smartco's Mac room when a mac needs it the cases magically open under the
hands of a well-trained technician to do those upgrades and repairs.
