To be fair, this seems to be a limitation from Intel (not supporting over 16 gigs of LPDDR4 RAM), not Apple.

- guelo 10y agoIf the T460p can do it Apple could too.
- toasterlovin 10y agoYou said earlier: "In my search I keep coming back to the Thinkpad T460p wondering if the bulky plastic case is worth the tradeoff for the raw power. It's maddening I can't have both." That's the thing. It's a trade off. If Apple could make a laptop with >16GB RAM AND a sleek design AND good battery life, they would do that. But they can't.
- dingaling 10y ago> not supporting over 16 gigs of LPDDR4 RAM The limitation is actually 16GB of of LPDDR3. Intel Skylake CPUs support up to 128GB of unbuffered DDR4, depending upon chipset, and don't support LPDDR4 at all at present. Apple chose to use the older, lower-power RAM specification and thus adopted the limitation. If they'd left the battery capacity unchanged then perhaps they could have used DDR4 but apparently their priority was reduced overall volume.
