The one draw back to using a mac is that you just can't pop the thing

Sure you can.
On the early macbooks (not the unibody ones) it's actually quite easy,
remove battery, remove 2 ror 3 screws, remove plastic cover, and poof,
instant memory upgrade, a 5 minute job.
On the other hand, I recently upgraded memory in my mac mini, and that
wasn't so easy. <shrug>
But, if your mac is under warantee, then you don't want to do anything
yourself to upgrade the machine, because it voids the warantee. So,
it's kind of a moot point until your machine is out of warantee,
unless you really don't intend to bother with purchasing one.
Overall, the warantee is a good idea, and it really is easier to let
the techs do the upgrades. The only problem is, you gotta pay apple
prices, which often times are 2-3 times the going market rate for
parts such as memory and dvd drives, so it's entirely up to you. Can
you upgrade your own macs, yes, you can, but I'd wait until the
warantee expires before performing any upgrades of your own, since
apple really frowns on that kind of behavior.
