My only complaint [aside from the absence of the G5], really, is the

another DIMM.
My solution there is not to buy RAM from Apple. While there have been
times when Macs needed unusual RAM, I can't think of any that needed RAM
that was unique to Apple. These days they tend to take standard SDRAM
and DDR SDRAM, so IMHO there's little reason to buy it from Apple.
Most resellers will buy and fit the extra ram
separate from the Apple order but still on the
same invoice can't say about laptops but with
last week on a 17" iMac I ordered for a friend
upgrading to 1Gb it like this "only saved" about
$100 on the total purchase price. But the effort
is only in the asking and that $100 gives you
some extra goodies or a night out with your SO.
