> the biggest problem with Apple hardware is the total lack of extensibility coupled with the highway robbery prices of extra RAM/SSD. You're either paying massive premiums or taking the risk that the machine will have insufficient RAM or storage and would need to be replaced sooner rather than later IMO, it's not nearly as big of a deal to use an external drive with a mac. But the ram thing - for sure. 8 GB seems like it should be pretty limiting. In practice I don't find 8 GB to be very limiting - I think probably because the SSD is so fast and makes up for it. I suppose no one knows what the future has in store. To be fair, I don't tend to run a lot of electron based apps, so I probably have less memory pressure than many people.
