  if you're buying a 2k+ laptop, you should really get the upgraded RAM option

    There is no upgraded RAM option on Amazon, they all seem to be 8GB.

  RAM kills the deal.

  Matching the JB Deals - more colours there I think.

  Genuine question here.
  why RAM is a big thing? unless you run a virtual machine on it?
  I thought Mac is relatively better and efficient in terms of memory usage, compared to Windows?

    Its not just virtual machines.

    Ram is finite. 8GB RAM is 8GB RAM. No matter how you spin it.

    If you keep using the ssd as ram. It will wear out quicker. Being this can't be replaced as its built in. You can see where this is going.

    There is this thing called future proofing also but i will leave that discussion for another post.

    If you're using an under specced machine for your workload, you're still likely to see some level of slowdown and additional wear of the SSD.

    When the machine runs out of physical ram, it will write part of the contents to the SSD. In many cases, this will be reasonably transparent.

    An SSD will eventually wear out. Though, you are unlikely to have issues with the SSD's life, even with reasonably heavy use. SSDs being soldered, IMO, is kind of a bad move given that they wear out eventually.

    If you do need the extra ram frequently, you should be buying a machine with more ram.

    The Apple Silicon platform is awesome, especially for laptops. I've had a M1 base model for 2.5 years without issue but my uses are mostly reasonably light workloads.

  Would i be able to price match this at Apple store? do they still do price match?

    They do but max at 10%

    • 

      qq830821 on 27/11/2023 - 00:13

      So Apple matches a lower price than give you 10% off the lower price ?

      • 

        PainToad on 04/12/2023 - 08:06

        No. They will only reduce the price by a maximum of 10%.

        If another retailer has it for 5% off, they’ll discount it by 5%.

        If another retailer has it for 15% off, they’ll discount it by 10%.

  no 16 gb no deal

  Riceplate on 27/11/2023 - 00:34

  Not a bargain, not a deal. $1800 for a laptop with 8GB of ram? What an embarrassing joke.
  You would have to be really dumb to buy at this price.

  You're gonna want 16GB RAM, its gonna have the most impact then the 512GB storage if you're looking to upgrade, it has like double the read/write speeds of the 256GB

  Charging $350 extra for 256GB of storage is a joke. You got 1TB Gen 4 NVMEs going like $120.

  8GB is plenty for 90% of the population unless you are running can CAD, Photoshop or gaming. And even then, it is not the the PC RAM being used but the graphic card memory that is more important. That is why if you crypto mine, you want the highest video RAM as possible to process more instructions per seconds. CPU RAM is slower than the video RAM as the later are able to process less complex instructions but they are much faster in doing so. Increasing 8 to 16 GB from a financial aspect, it is not value for the performance gain achieved. Most applications won't use more than 8GB of RAM. One of the reason why CPU performance is now measured by the number of cores is because they are better at processing instruction in parallel making RAM a lesser of impact in terms of performance for most applications and usage. There is less than a need to offload to RAM.
