Isn't that what many people are complaining about?
Being able to get a cheaper model now and upgrade RAM later is a nice option to have. Not all Ultrabooks strip out as many extra ports, nor do all ultrabooks prevent upgrading RAM. I really hope the non Apple manufacturers don't follow Apple's lead with increasingly non upgradeable parts. Toshiba has a 2.47lb 13" Ultrabook that has a nice selection of ports and if Toshiba kept the internals similar to the previous model, has upgradeable RAM and storage. These are good things. Yes, I do wish Apple had a slightly less drastically reduced MacBook Pro retina model.
