Or they'll start soldering the chips in as they do on the MacBook Pros. Can't upgrade them (Mini's ya can)

I can't see Apple going that far. I've not hid my disdain for apple from fellow freepers but come on now. In the laptops they've got a legit reason to do that. In the desktops they don't.
The BIOS thing I could see, because they've already done such a thing and history repeats itself.
But............ we'll see.

Almost all laptops have the processors soldered, not socketed, in.
All the desktop Intel Macs use sockets.

I can't really fault them for soldering the chips to the board in laptops because (A) it takes less space to solder a chip to a board than to have a socket between the two and (B) opening up a laptop to change components isn't something most people should be doing.
