Not true with RAM, at least for capacity!
My late-2008 MacBook Pro has been upgraded to 8GB of RAM, which is the maximum available for all current MacBook Pros except the new Retina edition (16GB). Just barely doubling in 4 years ≠ doubling every ~2 years.
Likewise, SSDs are not doubling in meaningful specs every two years, either.
- stickfigure 14y agoApple seems a bit behind here; you have been able to get 16GB notebooks from other vendors for quite a while now. Still, the price of that 8G has dropped pretty dramatically over the last 2 years.
