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

... 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.

All for the low price of $7,000.

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.

Gigglebytes?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

And has 1/10th the memory bandwidth.

at this point, apple laptops have become fancy tablets but i wish there was viable options for arm processor laptops

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You do realize that virtually every device with an arm processor also have soldered ram?

[+] [email protected] -8 points 3 weeks ago

When did I mention ram? But sure, you can throw that on the pile too.

M3s	Tablets just generally
Has a keyboard	Doesn't always have a keyboard
Soldered Ram	Soldered Ram
Not designed to run anything other than MacOS	Not designed to run anything other than a specific OS
Arm processor	Arm processor
Soldered Memory	Soldered memory

the only real difference is that laptops have a track pad. It's literally a fancy tablet with a dedicated keyboard.

In what way do you feel like apple laptops are just fancy tablets?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Meaning up to 28 GB for the Air as well?
