Their website presentation tops out at 8. If I go to their store website it shows me only two options: - 8 core, 8 core gpu, 8gb, 256 - 8 core, 10 core gpu, 8gb, 512 No indication whatsoever that this 8gb is not fixed. Nor is the storage fixed. But the only way to find out is to try and buy it, at which point I can just turn the first model into the second or something else entirely. Also, none of the presented options is anywhere close in price to the top spec model. I thought apple was supposed to be good at UX?

It says “configure yours on the next step.”

  Not in German, no. And even then, how would you know that ram is confugurable?

    True, in the German store it says "Wähle deine Konfiguration beim nächsten Schritt." > how would you know that ram is confugurable? 2 options: - Scroll down a little, and under "Gemeinsamer Arbeitsspeicher" it says: "Der M2 hat einen schnelleren Arbeitsspeicher als der M1, mit 50 Prozent mehr Speicherbandbreite. Er kann mit bis zu 24 GB konfiguriert werden – 8 GB mehr als beim M1 – für flüssigeres Multitasking und einfaches Arbeiten mit großen Dateien." - Click on the "Wählen" button under the chosen model. It's very obvious in the next screen that you can configure RAM.

      > It's very obvious in the NEXT screen that you can configure RAM. That is the whole point and I said that already... If you look through this thread you see quite a few peopke thinking you can only get 8gb of ram because the only two models shown feature 8gb and no text next to that indicating otherwise. Only if you think that apple might be lying, you go to the next page and see that they offer more than 8. > Scroll down a little, and... No, scroll down a lot and then it is hidden in the fluff text. Great, doesn't change that it is missing in the central place people actually look at. All the "well technically you can find out by jumping through these hoops" does not change that this is bad UX.
