> "Borchers' claim is fair for regular use, like surfing, light image editing and the like. However, there are several professional workflows that we highlighted in our Apple Silicon Mac Pro review from just after WWDC, and will again in our M3 Max MacBook Pro review, that demand the RAM. His comments likely won't hold much water with those users."
... then why can't they buy more RAM?
"I wish Apple charged me more for more RAM by default, instead of my having to choose to pay more for more RAM" ?
- wkat4242 3y agoApple is really expensive with their ram, that's part of the problem. It's always been like that but of course now it's no longer possible to just add your own.
- macNchz 3y agoYeah it’d be one thing if their RAM (and disk) upgrades were reasonable, but $200 per 8gb just feels like bad value. I’ve been a Mac user for a long time and fine with paying a premium for a premium device, but the pricing on upgrades (when not DIYable later) has been a major turnoff. I built a Linux machine and just threw 64gb into it because it was cheap, and guess what? It’s great! I love not having to think about it.
- wkat4242 3y agoYeah and you can get 64GB for 100 bucks now - Apple is really asking too much.
