Mac – Why is ram for the new macbooks so expensive

macbookmemory

I was pricing up a new Macbook unibody 17" and whilst following my general rule of giving a laptop as much ram as it can physically take, I fell off my chair when I saw the price.

$1000 US for an additional 4GB of memory to bring the total to 8GB … What the ?

I know Apple have a reputation for expensive ram but do Apple really think that people won't just upgrade themselves the day they buy the laptop to save money?

Is DDR3 really that good?

So that Apple makes a lot of profit.
