Only up to 16gb of memory on the M1 MacBook Pro?!?! The intel one is configurable to 32gb. Choosing between memory and CPU. So torn, so disappointed. P.S. I’m a developer, like many here. (Edit: specify the M1, not the existing Intel.)

The Intel one takes up to 64 GB – at least that's how much mine has.

  16 inch? I believe the 13” Intel is limited to 32gb max.

And it's no longer user accessible. No more saving money by buying 8gb and upgrading manually, even on the Mac Mini

  RAM on MacBooks hasn’t been upgradable for quite some time. I’d say at least 2 or 3 generations.

  That's an Intel not an M1 powered version.

    Indeed, thank you.

  Try again. I just went through the "buy" process for the M1 model, and 16Gb was the max configurable memory.

    Oops! Thanks for the correction, I was confused.

There's a 64GB version. https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro/16-inch-space-gray-2.3ghz-8-core-processor-1tb https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro/16-inch-space...

  That's an Intel MBP, not an M1 MBP.

I was eager to buy this one too (my primary device is Windows), and this is what stops me from buying it this year too.

That does seem weird. Probably Apple doesn't care about developers or rather expects them to wait for the 16 inch version? Personally I brought a windows workstation laptop and I have pretty much regretted that most of the time - if you are going for that kind of performance, running VMs, etc you are probably better of with a desktop. I expect that if you build a system with the new Ryzen 3 you can smoke almost any of the new mac models for 50%-75% of the cost. Screws you pretty hard if you actually need the computer to be a mac for some reason.
