I do wish there was a 12GB RAM upgrade option for like $50, but the value proposition would still start to slip away at a higher price. The A19 Pro does have 12GB RAM so I'd imagine the 2027 Neo generation should get 12GB standard
Gotdamn memory crisis really screwing over the whole industry, even Apple is getting pressed by it
They are usually cheap with the storage & memory but they'd been easing up on that a little bit lately
Maybe they would've fabbed a 12GB option otherwise (although part of the cost cutting for this is them reusing the 16PM chip which is 'mature' so the fab will have a much higher yield)
Memory crisis is so rough though, all the new Steam hardware is basically in purgatory
I bought some RAM in the summer & now it's worth a month's rent
although it is good that it will delay the next generation of consoles since they aren't really necessary for a good few years imo
It's not if you think about why it's that way... it's a leftover iPhone chip. They would've had to develop a new variant of that SoC just for this, adding development cost. I'm sure it'll get the A19 Pro next year, which has 12GB RAM by default
Yea true, didn't even know it was running the A18 when I made that post lol
Still think it's killer that students (who this is obviously geared towards) can get a mac book for $499
8GB is fine, even if you need a little more RAM it will just swap to the NVMe
more would be ideal for Chrome based browsers/apps and other things but I don’t think many will need more
My macbook somehow has 1.5 TB of system data and I can't figure out why. What the f*** is this s*** apple.
I literally ran out of storage!
I'm about to go to the apple store like an old geezer to get assistance
id cop the 500gb neo if I was in the market but my m1 air still feels new to me
tbh kinda need more than 500 gb (cant install newest update cuz I dont have room)

Have you tried any of the programs that scan your disk and break down the file sizes so you can dive in deeper? I use cleanmymac but I think there are free utilities for it. Something like DiskInventoryX I think it was called

The Neo is kind of crazy damn
https://twitter.com/stalman/status/2031507292454269171It's weird how little these guys know about computers. Launching a bunch of apps just shows how fast the SSD is. They were doing this in 2012

The real constraint of these is RAM. You have to show how it handles sharing memory with multiple tabs loaded, videos playing, local LLMs running, etc.
I've never seen so many "video editors" in the comments of a product review than yesterday when Neo seeders dropped their first reviews
Returned my m4 and got the m5 through the education store 100 off. They dont even verify if your a student lol
still no new Apple TV??
Thought it would’ve dropped by now
probaly just gonna cop the current one atp

I picked up a 4k Christmas time with complete confidence they’d drop a new one in March.
I was gonna give mine to my dad and cop the new one but alas haha
All my new purchases will be condensed now lol. Air probably in the summer. 18 pro in the early fall and iPad mini in the fall
Airs became so powerful since m3 so instead of them upping the prices for that they introduced a lower tier which is a great move
