Why would anyone get a Chromebook for $600 over this
they wouldnt. they'd get a 200 dollar chromebook
Maybe in 2019. In 2026 8Gb of ram alone costs $150
sure a stick of ram, but this is not that. i can find chromebooks well under 300 dollars american, i dont know what to tell you.
But it's 8 gigs of RAM on a Mac so It will perform like a Chromebook with 4 gigs of RAM.
Utter bullshit disinformation. SoC, look it up.
I think you’re mixing things up here. Mac’s are actually VERY performant, both objectively and relative to the on board ram.
There are many critiques that can be made of macOS. But saying it runs inefficiently is not one of them.
i absolutely hate apple and i endorse this message.
