It probably won't affect 8/16 GB people. Since the RAM are soldered, each config will be a different board, so they can keep existing 16GB config, and offer a 32GB config with DDR4 + required controllers, etc.
- 4ad 10y agoOh, yeah, they should design and produce a completely different board that virtually nobody buys. That makes a lot of financial sense.
- panda88888 10y agoI agree with you that it doesn't make financial sense. Maybe Apple can simply state the demand isn't there for 32GB, or just don't respond at all. Edit: Want to add that I think some people are not happy since they perceive the line between thin (Air/Macbook) and powerful (BMP) is being blurred and MBP is becoming too MacBook-like. I am currently a 2014 MBP user. I love it, but my next laptop probably won't be a MBP. I don't own a desktop, and I am running out of storage. My next laptop will have upgradable storage that uses a standard part (M.2, etc), and the new MBP doesn't fit my need. I tend to keep my laptop for a few years, and lack of upgradability impacts me significantly.
