Call me dumb, but I didn’t realize they had done so much memory optimization to make the physical 8GB of RAM so effective. I saw a very much lower number than I expected and just assumed it wouldn’t handle memory intensive workloads well. As someone who develops web tech my entire life revolves around crushing RAM, now I think the M1 may actually result in big gains for my workload hrmm
- joshstrange 6y agoSame here, I guess after years of the iPhone specs being lower than Androids when it came to things like RAM but still crushing Android phones should have clued me in. I figured that with 16GB max that the new computers would be a non-starter for me but from what I've seen I was wrong about that. Unfortunately the monitor limit IS a non-starter but I'll be first in line for the M2/M1S/M1Z (whatever they call it) in next year's new 16" MBP (assuming I can continue to drive all my monitors).
