You can still get to the hard drives, though it does require more skill
than some people have.

You can't get to the internal components of Apple keyboards at all
without first destroying the keyboard.

These issues are inherent with miniaturization, though. You will have
the same types of problems with other all-in-one computers, for
instance. It ain't just Apple. ; )
