Apple knows this better than anyone.
Today, upon laying my iMac down on my bed to prepare it for a RAM replacement mini-operation, I was delighted to see that Apple has conveniently placed RAM replacement instructions just under the screen stand.

You would never see that if you never upgraded your RAM, which gets this out of the way for amateur users.

A brilliant real life example of good design - its applications in web design are oh-so-many.
