I'm not as interested in upgrades as I am in being able to replace failing components. It's just silly that a faulty graphics card can cripple a whole computer currently.
true. I didn't want to use the "swap up to a newer battery when capacity drops" as an argument, because that's trivial on Android phones at the moment (and not too bad on iPhones either.)
Graphics card example is better, but I'm not convinced Ara is going to allow processor upgrades this way? (assuming system-on-a-chip, including graphics.)
I would suspect that the endo would have 8GB flash for Android, and the processor/RAM/GPU chip, and you can add on top of that (at least, the endos seem to come with a fixed screen size, even though two choices or size are pictured.)
