    Ok but……who the hell runs blender and FFP in 8GB?

    The vast majority of users are NOT running pro apps like that.

    It’s just a name. If you’re actually running pro stuff, you’d be an idiot to run that on 8Gb no matter what machine.

    Apple’s argument that it’s the same as 16gb is dumb, but anyone actually using pro apps on 8Gb is dumber. The majority of browser(with sane numbers of tabs)/iPhoto/office users really are probably not gonna notice.

      Um actthually mac is so oPtimized so 1gb mac = 12.3gb windows 🤓

      STFU it physically has less ram than a potato while costing the price of a nasa rocket

        Also Apple™ RAM costs like 4 to 8 times as much. Being $200 for 8GB. So assuming fantasy land Apple™ iMagic™ means 8GB = 16GB it’s still a minimum of twice the cost per dollar

          and if u spend another 200 it goes from 16 to 32, so apparrntly somehow 8gb can cost 200 or 100 bc apple

          Apple ram actually is just more dense. They can fit more binary in each gigabyte.

            Ok, so a tech neophyte here so please dont crucify me. Would that not be adding more transistors to the ram? And, would that not affect clock speed?

              an explanation of the joke :D, he is saying more binary in a gigabyte, I get what u mean with the transistors but he aint talking about that, he talks about being able to fit more data (binary, the raw data, ones and zeroes) in the same space (one gigabyte, like 1024^9 or around 1billions spaces for the ones and zerors) bc ofc, it’s apple so they somehow can save morr info in the same amount of space, that’s whatvhe meant :)
