The specs list 8gb as the only option which is a bit of a disappointment. I was hoping they would offer 16gb and up the rMPBs to 32gb. Otherwise it looks fantastic. I can't wait to try it.
- IkmoIkmo 12y agoIt has the worst CPU in the entire Mac lineup as far as I know, worse than the 11 inch MBA (which is such a confusing brand message. The MB Air is heavier and more noisy than the regular MB, but the MB isn't as powerful as the Air, bit strange right?) In any case, it doesn't really scream '32gb' to me. i.e. what could you possibly need 32gb of ram for where you won't get bottle-necked to hell and back by a processor more often used in tablets and small 2-in-1s than laptops. Let me know what you were planning to use the memory for, genuinely curious!
- joesmo 12y agoI was hoping it could replace the Air as an all-purpose laptop. 32gb might be a bit overkill, but 16gb is not unheard of, especially considering a life of 5-8 years. If it is roughly as fast as a 2012 Air (which some sites compare it to), it's plenty fast enough for everyday tasks as well as work where I need to run a few VMs. Thus the memory. Still, I'm more interested to see if there will be a DisplayPort dongle and if it could output 4k @ 60hz. If not, the new Air / Retina upgrades are much more interesting.
