Great points. Obviously its about maximum profit, and it's 8GB only because they can get away with it with virtual memory and 3GB/s SSDs making swap mostly unnoticeable to the end user - the side effect being for heavy users in a few years needing a whole new board because the SSD endured prematurely. I don't care much for imagining a typical user as a technology person isn't a typical user. Most normal people I know expect a computer to last 5-6 years and will just take it to a repair guy to replace the battery or whatever if its out of warranty. Except what repair person can desolder and replace SSD chips on a motherboard? Buy More Stuff I guess!
