I call it business. There are product differences, but the differences do not warrant the price margin. In my opinion, use the crucial ram tool, then go buy the ram from newegg and save yourself even more money.

It's that way with most notebooks, not just Apple. For some people, they don't want to hassle installing it themselves ... so Apple makes a big margin. It's very easy to install RAM, so if you want to save a few bucks, follow the recommendations provided above.

A 2GB MacBook would come with two 1GB modules installed; so, in order to be able to upgrade to 4GB, you'd need to remove those, and install *two* 2GB sticks (and sadly, waste the stock 2x1GB modules)
So the 4GB upgrade according to the price you gave, would be $120, not $60.
