Except may be I can't afford the heavy Apple price tag right now and I only want a 256GB SSD and 8GB RAM to get me started while I save up for a few more months for the other upgrades... not everyone can afford to go all out and go full spec.
Or maybe i think I'm only going to need the lower spec, but having bought my nice new Mac I find it really easy to use and I'm a bit of a genius at this movie editing thing but I could be more of a genius if it was a bit faster... but hang on, now I need to buy a whole new laptop for another £3000. But until my big hollywood blockbuster I can't afford it :(
- jaems33 14y agoPretty sure you CAN replace the SSD later on, not unlike the MacBook Air models. You just need to purchase the correct SSD and connector for the model. The RAM though, you're out of luck. An extra $200 on the build for 16gb is a bit of a ripoff considering that you can get 16gb laptop sticks from anywhere between $100-$150.
- kamjam 14y agoYes, read that. Generally for me RAM is bigger factor these days than storage... with speeds from USB3 I can generally get by with external storage.
- dmishe 14y agousually i agree, but in this case they are non-usual sticks. While i hardly imagine they cost apple 3x the price of usual stick, it is a factor
