The genuine Mac SSDs are expensive.
I just bought a MacBook Pro and the 512Gb SSD was an additional $1150. For $750 I can buy a aftermarket 480Gb SSD and I get to keep the original 750Gb 2.5 inch HDD which can be put in an external enclosure as a backup drive (it is removed if you buy the genuine Mac SSD).
I haven't done this yet, but I did buy 16Gb of RAM from the same supplier for the same price as Apple wanted for 8Gb.
To my knowledge, RAM and HDD are user serviceable parts on a Mac - Apple provide instuctions on the net as to how to do it.
You can't upgrade the RAM on a MacBook air as it is soldered to the main board.
