        It would even be fine to start at 32G. A single 32GB DDR5-4800 SO-DIMM is like 80€. 8G is beyond criminal.

          8G is just Apple being Apple, and idiots giving them money.

      I knew the price drop came with a catch. We can consider this an $1800 computer since Apple is still nickel and diming people for their storage

      People still think of RAM like it’s the early 2000’s. Hasn’t been much of a factor since M1. It’s just overanalyzing, fomo BS YouTubers create, and ironically could create on a base MBA.

      I’ve been a big fan for decades but I’m really tired of this. My iCloud went down for an entire day a couple weeks ago and they wasted my time on the support line only to eventually say “oh I see what’s up, we can’t tell you but just wait twelve hours and it will work again.” I don’t know what’s going on with this company but the software is getting bad and their hardware configs are ridiculous. Any good recommendations on powerful laptops for if I want to jump ship?

      You know the truth. 8gb is for people who just want a mac for light stuff like typing or browsing. You are meant to pay more if you want more. 8gb is pitched to be functional for those who don’t care, and fir those that do care? You pay more.

      This model is going to be a battery champion. It’s rated at 22 Hours apple TV which is the same rating as the 16" MBP. The M2 13 MBP was rated at 20 Hours.
