You could not pay me $10k to use that machine on a daily basis. It is absolutely embarrassing that a $1600 computer has a 1920x1200 screen with a garbage-tier touchpad and terrible battery life. And don't say "I'd just dock it" - what's the...
This is the same situation with GPU manufacturers and their abuse of 8GB. It's 2024 and 16GB should have been the minimum for at least 5 years now, but they aren't because the manufacturer knows you can't upgrade so they push you to buy models...
Also their base price is higher, which makes the lack of RAM less forgivable. Like I get if there's some cheap craptastic computer that is trying to hit a low price that has a small amount of RAM. I still don't like it, as it won't give the user...
Ram is still faster than the fastest NVMe's. 8G if too little these days for most in day to day usage, browsers with tabs, office apps, messenger apps or anything...it costs Apple about $5 for that ram chip a recent article was talking about, but...
What you describe here is exactly why I still haven't gotten around to buying a PC laptop with a strong Nvidia GPU in it. That GPU would be great for my work, but it takes $5k to get the spec that I would use. The $5k pays for a really nice...
Yes, it’s just another example of Apple really paying attention to quality hardware for people that do work with their machines. Pc makers really show very little attention to things that actually matter to professional users on a day to day...
Not really. Apple doesn't make products that are comparable to the shitty parts bin laptops, at any price point. You can look at just the memory spec and try to compare 8GB vs 8GB, but there is more to a computer than that.
At $1400, you get...
I don’t think 8gb is enough, not once you start using Office or Adobe products, but if you are staying inside the built in Apple software it’s fine.
I mean I can crap on their ram numbers but Windows OEM’s still sell win 11 machines with 4GB...
Sick straw man argument. Yes, your $5k laptop is badass and shouldn’t be underestimated.
Now let’s talk about the $1400 dollar Apple laptops with 8gb ram that hit EOL after 4 years. They serve a similar purpose to those shitty, parts bin Acer...
This, the fact you could get new Apple computer with 8G of ram...I recall that was the biggest complaint of the m1's is people running out of memory, but to go to 16Gb was stupid expensive.
A bit of a different conversation, are sales down because people do not need to update, because the average device sold is the lower price range or because they are loosing market share (the part the browser data try to show, but with sudden...
Eventually we'll find out from Apple themselves with their quarter earnings.
To be fair, your Macbook Pro also costs more than his desktop PC and phone.
No you said desktop PC, and you can have 128 GB of ram Laptop

All you did was brag. You provided no numbers. Like a vegan announcing their diet to the whole bar when they walk in.
Prolly do have more than me, my pc is 8years old now and only 64gb ram. Phone is iphone 13pro and thats what 6GB?
Hardware...
The sentence the macbook has more ram than a PC is a strange one adeskptop PC is not necessarily a windows one and can have terabytes of ram, and since Windows went to 64 bits the pro version support 2 TB of ram.
