1.5 TB of unified memory sounds less like a computer and more like Apple preparing for the moment your local AI starts asking for a raise. Plot twist: by 2028 the RAM upgrade still costs more than the rest of the machine combined.
Remember this is “unified”, it’s not like you can upgrade, nor is it available in the “cheap” packaging we’re used to.
You’ll get whatever Apple puts on the SoC, and you’ll be happy with it
Apples memory has never been cheap, it's always been a very expensive upgrade.
I slowly turn to dust as I recall cracking open 2013 MacBook Pros and just putting more memory in.
The memories of loading up the G3 with SDRAM so I can fiddle with Photoshop 5, lost like tears in the rain.
How dare you steal hundreds of dollars by installing contraband ram!
