Ah. But does it also make 8gb in a mac perform like 16gb on another platform?
no, only delusion can do that.
Delusion is a fantastic name for a tech startup
I mean… I know dae Apple bad, but yeah… an 8GB RAM mac performs better than a 16GB Windows machine.
Linux on the other hand, nah.
Came here to say this. I know folks want to hate on Apple, and I do think that 16GB should ship in every Pro monikered machine, but 8GB of RAM in the M series packages is not the same as two 4GB DDR4/DDR5 RAM sticks in your laptop or desktop Windows machine. The hardware architecture inherently uses the RAM more efficiently, as does the OS written to target this hardware.
But, again, Apple should up the base RAM.
16GB abso should be minimum for a PRO model, full agree there.
It’s just so funny to me how many people are like 8GB IS SO SLOW AND BAD AND UNUSABLE which is… not even really true for Windows. I have found four different people inexpensive 8GB Windows machines for daily use.
But OSX is so efficient with RAM, it’s completely usable for even more intensive things.
Name a model “pro”? Just fuckin put 16GB in it lawl
My 2011 MBP has 16GB and a SSD.
This is 100% bullshit. Seriously, it's wrong. I have one, and you are wrong.
Lawl I work in tech, and your comment (which lacks any sort of meaningful substance) is wrong and hilarious.
You have what? A PC? A Mac? An emac? Linux? A phone? How much RAM in each? What processor? Are they running on SSDs? What’s wrong?
Ehhhh I’m done responding to children this morning. Some of the worst kinds of redditors came over, and I think you’re that kind of Redditor.
