"This is also why the only laptops currently available which support >16GB RAM are huge, like this one which weighs 17 pounds (8KG). "
Except that ThinkPad T460 can be ordered with 32 GB memory and weights something like 3.8 lbs (1.7 kg)
(of course the upside of the specs being essentially the same as the old one is that you can use the old MBP until USB-C is widespread enough to make it worth switching)
- mamp 10y agoI haven't been able to find out what the battery life is with 32 Gb, but the T460 is 40% thicker than the 13" MBP due to battery, it doesn't have a Retina display and it has a slower intel graphics. I don't think there is a conspiracy here. Intel couldn't deliver the processor to be low power and use 32Gb, Apple prioritised size. I'm not happy, but I'll wait to the next version for the price drop and 32Gb. The big mistake was raising the price. That is shitty.

- phicoh 10y agoThis page claims 17 hours (with the test described as "Laptop Mag Battery test, which involves continuous surfing over Wi-Fi at 100 nits of brightness") http://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/lenovo-thinkpad-t460 http://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/lenovo-thinkpad-t46...
- dman 10y agoWith the extended battery you easily get > 12 hours in real world usage.
- feelix 10y agoThat comes with this CPU [1] which is not appropriate for the MBP http://ark.intel.com/products/88190 http://ark.intel.com/products/88190
