Or you know, just let the consumers swap the HD and RAM themselves.

I'm ready for CAMM2 to be widely available.

Meanwhile, my 2018 T480 has 64 gigglebytes of memory.

And has 1/10th the memory bandwidth.

Gigglebytes?

[–] PetteriPano 3 points 1 month ago

For the occasions where you're uncertain if it's gigabytes or gibibytes.

All for the low price of $7,000.

I have 24 GB on my M2. The real news is Apple finally having a good amount of RAM in the base model.

the M4 MacBook Pro will indeed start at 16 GB of unified memory for the base variant

Meaning up to 28 GB for the Air as well?

... and here I just upgraded my windows / linux laptops to 32gb unified memory ram...

edit: salty downvoters don't know I used to run intel macbooks and would always max out the RAM on them... it made them run good.

Also Windows ran faster than macOS on the same systems.
