"... given the 16 GB limit." Can you explain that? I mean, as a 64bit operation system, that doesn't jive. Are you talking about physical memory in machines that are being sold now? I've swapped out tons of memory and never heard about this. - this isn't a jab either. I seriously am not sure what you mean. (no insult intended)
- kogepathic 9y ago> "... given the 16 GB limit." Can you explain that? They are referring to the fact that Apple portables ship with soldered memory and max out at 16GB while PC manufacturers are shipping systems which support 32 and even 64GB in laptop/mobile workstation form factor. So they are referring to the physical memory (RAM) limit of Apple devices, not any logical limitations of the OS.
- phil21 9y agomost likely the 16GB limit on the Macbook Pro
- eric_h 9y agoYou can't purchase a laptop from apple with more than 16GB of RAM, and what you get is soldered to the motherboard anyway.
- ihuman 9y agoIts limited because they are using low power LPDDR3 ram, which its limited to 16GB. LPDDR4 doesn't have this limit, but isn't supported by intel on Kabylake. https://9to5mac.com/2016/11/01/macbook-pro-16gb-32gb-ram/ https://9to5mac.com/2016/11/01/macbook-pro-16gb-32gb-ram/
