- Bud 10y agoApples and oranges. Intel's mobile Skylake processors don't support more than 16GB of low-power RAM; Apple didn't have anything to do with that limitation. This is a boxy desktop, not a mobile machine.
- jsjohnst 10y agoI up voted your response as it's correct, but for anyone who doesn't want to believe, here's a fully referenced post I made a while back with specific references in the Intel documentation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12900834 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12900834
- dingo_bat 10y agoNow I know why both the new surface book and the mbook pro have such paltry ram configurations. Sad times when intel itself seems to be falling behind.
- wmf 10y agoOr Apple could have used pro RAM in the MacBook Pro.
- Sanddancer 10y agoIntel's mobile processors like the ones in the Macbook Pro support up to 64 megs of ram. Their ultra low power cpus only support 16 gigs, but the line in question goes up to 64, even with ddr3l ram.
- JustSomeNobody 10y agoToo bad this doesn't have a built in hires display and a keyboard so we could compare orange to oranges.
- NetStrikeForce 10y agoI've been looking around my Mac Mini and my friend's Mac Pro for hours now. I couldn't find the hires display.
- JustSomeNobody 10y ago> ... when Apple switched to max 16 Gb of ram on their PRO line... What PRO line do _you_ think he was talking about that is limited to 16GB?
- Bud 10y agoYou're forgetting the cheap Chinese external power brick that you will be tethered to, also...
