    PS: the macbooks are all super-glued together so it's almost impossible to fix anything in them, even the ram/memory is soldered onto the mobo. I usually steer clear of anything apple. ;)

    Wow - I must have a rare macbook then as Ive upgraded RAM, drive and the screen and non of it was soldered in place or superglued. :rolleyes:

    In fairness, the new macbook pros with the led panels have the screen fused with glue between the outer cover and inner bezel, so to replace the panel you are looking at replacing the entire assembly for the screen, or using a heatgun and hoping :P .
    Some of the ultrabook manufacturers may also be doing this, but I have only noticed it with the macbooks alright.

    ye, I googled and nothing popped so I heard it somewhere:confused:, revenue are apparently raiding notice boards/ads looking for people who are undeclaring earnings.*

    Probably just scare tactic when I think about it. I don't know, anyway...
