This is the first time they have not obscenely limited their starter offerings with 8GB RAM. The time it took them to do that is just pathetic. Now I guess this will happen until how long? Maybe 2034 - and starting RAM 16GB. I wish I could say it's a welcome change but in 2024 for such overpriced machine if they are starting with 16GB RAM then that's anything but special. Also, I am sure the SSDs and RAMs are still soldered tight :) If only they could allow their iPads to be used as a Mac screen natively I might buy a Mini and an iPad and get done with it two use cases but why would Apple want users to be able to do that without extra expense.
