MacBook Pro

It's just the price and segment. 8GB on a MacBook Pro (which, in 2024, had a starting price of $1,599 despite having only 8GB of RAM) is horrible, and was never OK. 8GB on a MacBook Neo (which, in 2026 has a starting price of just $599) is perfectly fine. 24GB should be the minimum in 2026 (for a pr

Base config on the M5 MacBook Pro is still 16GB RAM. With all the stuff running in the background, they should have bumped base RAM up to at least 24GB. My M1 Pro with 16GB needs to use swap to handle stuff. But it will probably be another 10 years before Apple increases base RAM across the lineup.

Making MacBook pro look like a massive value preposition, even with Apple's insane markup on RAM and storage upgrades

American people will lose their shit over a $2 fee while watching people die because they can't pay their medical bills. Apple has a long history of adding 10 to 15% cost on every product they sell in Europe. At some point, the $1999 Surface would cost €1849 in France (VAT included), while the $1999

I use apple tv and a 55 inch 4k screen but I've used a MacBook Pro in the past. The graphical difference is absolutely not worth the money you'll need to spend. Zwift graphics are objectively poor no matter what hardware you are on, plus that weird washed out almost sepia tone colour scheme just nev

Except they actually don’t. The base MacBook Pro has a 1 TB SSD and upgrading to 2 TB costs $400. 8 GB of additional memory costs $200, by the way. Apple literally sells an entire laptop with 256 GB of storage and 8 GB of RAM for $600, or just $500 with the educational discount.

I was making the point that it is a little unfair to compare a $6k MacBook Pro to a sub $3k device. strix halo $ for $ outperforms it. The Strix Halo at $3k will outperform the same $3k MacBook which will likely put you at a 15c/16g M5 Pro with only 48gb of ram. Even if you consider resale you're be

Why? Similar spec MacBook Pro is $2,099 on Apple’s website. No touchscreen, no pen support, no OLED plus not convertible. And MacBook is 0.5lb heavier. Yup - M5 is faster than X2E, but not by that much. Look - I agree HP has set a list price that’s more than I would be willing to pay. But this list

The MAX is a waste in any "MacBook" at this point in over 5 years of working with Apple Silicon setups in my own personal experience. This is my opinion and others are welcome to disagree, but it's my opinion at this point. It really only makes sense performance/price ratio, when a Mac Studio. Even

Apple prices are nuts too. Starting at $1700 for the base MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM. To go to 32 is an extra $400. Weirdly, the cost that Apple used to charge for RAM that people used to complain about is now basically the standard cost
