Yep.  One time I bought a 2011 Macbook (the last year they made the 17" version), and I bought a RAM upgrade elsewhere.  Due to it being non-Apple RAM, if I went into the information screen (or somewhere), it had a warning saying I was using 3rd-party RAM modules.  Apple would charge at least 1.5x as much as I paid elsewhere for the RAM.
