Yes, I'm well aware that the MacPro can be upgraded but I suppose my unspoken caveat was that I was referring to systems that the average go an afford. Given that the MacPro starts at just under $3000 without monitor I'm thinking that it is disqualified. Besides, if I dropped ~$3000 I would hope that I wouldn't have to upgrade for some time.
But yes, you are technically correct.
I wasn't suggesting you look at a Mac Pro, I was just pointing out that they can be upgraded by the user. The Mac Pro is well out of your budget
