Samsung faces weakest quarter since 2009 as memory chip market declines
- kristianp 4y agoAnd yet it costs the equivalent of US$400 in my country to add another 16GB of ram to a macbook pro configuration.

- MichaelZuo 4y ago$400 for 16GB of ram that Apple is willing to warranty for 3 years. Try pricing a 3 year OEM same day replacement warranty for any memory product in your country.
- Our_Benefactors 4y agoYou have to pay extra for the warranty. Apple has always(?) gouged on RAM and disk upgrades.
- MichaelZuo 4y agoLike I said, price it out, including all surcharges, and compare it.
- CyberDildonics 4y agoYou're making the claim, so you should price it out and show it.
- MichaelZuo 4y agoWhat claim?
- CyberDildonics 4y agoTry pricing a 3 year OEM same day replacement warranty for any memory product in your country.
- MichaelZuo 4y agoCan you point out specifically what claim you believe is made here?
- CyberDildonics 4y agoIf you weren't making a claim then what were you saying in the first place?
- MichaelZuo 4y agoThat you should try and compare? It seems very clearly and directly spelled out. Is there some word you don't understand how to interpret?
- CyberDildonics 4y agoI compared them and you were very wrong
- MichaelZuo 4y agoOkay so can you post it here, instead of this roundabout discussion?
- CyberDildonics 4y agoYou suggested a comparison, so show your comparison.
- ksec 4y agoNo idea how you get the 3 year warranty and $400 for 16GB together.
- MichaelZuo 4y agoIf the memory modules fail prematurely they can be replaced free of charge. There is some non zero value in this guarantee. These are commonly understood to be part of a 'warranty'.
- ksec 4y agoWhere did you get 3 year warranty, that is the question. Standard warranty on Apple are 1 year.
- MichaelZuo 4y agoThe standard warranty is not 1 year in all countries. Anyone can verify this via a quick search. But in any case I never specified 'standard warranty' only 'a warranty'.
- CyberDildonics 4y agoAnyone can verify this via a quick search. So do it
- ksec 4y agoI am not even sure if he is trolling or not.
- ksec 4y ago>But in any case I never specified 'standard warranty' only 'a warranty'. I am not even sure if you are trolling or not. There is not such thing as Standard Warranty or Warranty. You either specify AppleCare+. Or you have Standard Warranty of One year. >The standard warranty is not 1 year in all countries. Standard on All Apple products as commonly known. And cases of extensions in EU are via Law. You are the one who have the prove yourself. And you have not done so. >Anyone can verify this via a quick search. And if you can do a quick search why not post a link ?
- kristianp 4y agoMore info: I ended up getting a ThinkPad which has one free SODIMM slot, and buying the extra 16GB from a local supplier. The RAM upgrade Cost about 1/10th of the Apple charge. It was annoying that the machine only had one slot, and one soldered, limiting the max dual-channel RAM I can upgrade to 32GB. The max installable is 48GB on this machine. Of course the apple RAM is on the package with the CPU. Why are on-package RAM upgrades so limited? Similarly why are NVidia graphics card RAM not available in larger sizes?
