I also can not figure out why so many companies are selling them with only a 500Gb drive. SSD or HDD.

I can't believe I'm reading this in 2024

I mean. It makes sense. The vast majority of people buying apple computers are loyalists or people that simply need an Internet/word processor.

And if you want to develop in apple then you have to spend a massive premium for their higher end hardware.

Cant have users getting all uppity with excess memory after all

[–] NostraDavid@programming.dev 7 points 6 months ago

I haven't used 8GB since... 2008 or so? TBF, I'm a power user (as are most people on any Lemmy instance, I presume), but still...

And sure, Mac OS presumably uses less RAM than Windows, but all the applications don't.

Apple has been really stretching their takes lately. Nice to see some fire under their ass though it's not going to matter. Too many ignorant people falling for likeable propaganda.
