Didn't see any word as to if this refresh would also be improving any of the other criticisms of the 2016 model like the RAM for example. Does anyone have any inside information or insight on that?
- Cyphus 9y agoThe ram issue was purportedly about battery life. The 2016 mbp uses LPDDR3 ram, which limited the device to 16GB.[0] They couldn't use LPDDR4 ram, even though it was available at the time, because Skylake chipsets didn't support it. If the rumors are true that this year's model will use Kaby Lake, which will open up for the possibility of LPDDR4 and higher capacities.
