What are you guys talking about? 8G of RAM and 256GB of SSD, in 2024, combining with M3 and a 15.3 top gear LCD are fantastic for MacBook!

8 gb ram was the standard 10 years ago. Apple play tricks so that you pay $400 more to get more ram. It’s a despicable margin booster

If Apple puts 16G RAM / 512GB SSD for the entry model, more people would just buy the basic config without paying extra for the upgrade.

You compared your phone with car. You can easily drive your car for 10+ years. Can you do the same for your phone? //@anonymous: That's right. I don't feel my new phone is faster than my last. And I cannot drive my new car faster than my old car. Things are running about the same. It's not the reason for change.

This is such a ridiculous remark. There were 4 channels in the previous 16 gb models (4gb*4). Now Apple wants to save money and started using 6 gb unit. So the 18 gb module only has 3 channels (6gb*3). The memory bandwidth is worse then M2 equivalent models. //@anonymous: Triple-channel ram. 3x6gb sticks = 18gb. Better than dual-channel. //@Anonymous: 18gb ram is odd //@anonymous: bh and bb(with membership) 1749

Comparing RAM number is like comparing gas tank size between a family care and a race car.

When M1 first came out, people reported it still runs smoothly with 400 safari windows open.

Different cars have different gas tank size because they have different MPGs. But a full tank of gas will let you drive similar distances with different cars (excluding hybrids). RAM is completely different, more RAM is always better regardless what computer you have //@anonymous: Comparing RAM number is like comparing gas tank size between a family care and a race car.
