There are very few "user replaceable" pieces and parts on Apple iMacs
and laptop.

I agree all laptops are proprietary and there are few compatible
parts, even among laptops from the same company.
I have a few Dell laptops because they are usually cheaper, used, than
other brands. I wanted to swap out the HV power supply to the display
between 2 Dells that look virtually identical and they are completely
different parts. I know the IBM Think pads had very few compatible
parts between models.
It is why I like desk tops (except Dell) They all user the same basic
parts. I have a couple Dell desk tops that I was given and the most
valuable part for me is the XP Pro COA sticker. Bill has finally
decided it is OK to move the OS without calling them with a story.
They flow right through the online authorization.

I like desktops, too, but it's hard to get one into my messenger bag.

There's an iPad III coming out right after the beginning of the year.
Depending upon what it offers, I might get one...even easier to lug
around when I have to lug around a computer to check emails, do a little
editing of manuscripts, et cetera. I have a small, bluetooth Apple
keyboard stuffed away and the iPads work with them. To me, it's a better
alternative than the onscreen keyboards of these devices.
