RAM is really cheap when you're not buying it from Apple.
- nateb2022 3y agoThere are a lot of laptops with soldered RAM.
- realharo 3y agoThat's a shame, it's a bit weird seeing someone having to limit what software they can use, and looking to offload things onto external machines, over something you can get 4 times the amount of (32 GB) for under $50 (https://www.amazon.com/s?k=sodimm+ddr4+32gb https://www.amazon.com/s?k=sodimm+ddr4+32gb)
- TheCapeGreek 3y agoFor the price point of entry level M1 Air or Pro, there is nothing that competes on battery life. I'm in South Africa, with spotty electricity. I need a laptop that can sustain work for 4-6h without charge without spending an extra arm. Anything non-Apple that does this competes on the top end range, not entry level. Cheaping out on hardware here just means I need to buy bigger backup batteries, so either way I need to spend a ton of money if I really want to avoid Apple that much.
