I assumed when you said "Only enthusiast laptops go with a large number of memory channels" you intended to refer to something beyond just the MacBook Pro, because "enthusiast laptop" is usually used to describe a category that definitely includes a lot of laptops that aren't MacBook Pros, and only arguably includes some MacBook Pros. And if you did mean to refer specifically and only to MacBook Pros, there were plenty of more straightforward ways for you to do so.
- rowanG077 3y agoIt's quite simple really. Macbook Pro M1 Max is in the set of enthusiast laptops. You said there are none. I gave that as a counterexample. I wasn't specifically thinking about it in my original comment. In fact I wasn't specifically thinking about even a bus width that I consider "large". It was a general comment that memory channels are not cheap to have in a piece of silicon and that consumers generally don't care about it as a metric of performance.
