    They notoriously sell older components and technologies in their brand new computers.

    I have one I got for free that was made in 2020. It’s a MacBook Air. It has 8gb of RAM… I don’t even know how they found RAM chips that small in 2020. It freezes every day when all I’m doing is running a web browser. This computer was $1,000 at the time it launched.

      The base amount of RAM is a bit low, I agree. But why would you order one with less RAM than you need? I have an M1 Max with 64GB and it just flies. No matter what I throw at it, it stays fast and responsive.

        Them: theyve always been over priced, here’s an example where their 1k device had a pathetically small ram for the cost

        You: well why didn’t you spend MORE to get a FUNCTIONING device, hmmm?

        My cell phone in 2020 had more than 8g of ram and cost the same as that laptop, no excuses
