Is this a take in regards to soldering in new flash chips or replacing a board and then needing to wrestle Apple support during an RMA to replace a faulty component (because I quiet confidently believe, Apple will cross check your hardware with their records from the serial number).

And I don't believe regular PC manufacturers/OEMs are that hard to argue with if I insert my own SSD.

And how much does Apple like that?

Doesnt work during an RMA.
