Ask Slashdot: How Important Is Upgradable Storage and Memory When Buying a New Computer?

davidwr writes: If you were going to buy a desktop or laptop computer, how important is it to be able to upgrade memory and storage after your purchase? Is not being able to upgrade an “automatic no-buy,” assuming you can get a computer that meets your needs that is upgradeable? If not, would you be willing to pay a little more for upgradeability? A lot more?

What are your thoughts?
