Yeah, sure. Even if what they say about the OS resource usage is true, it's only a fraction of the total usage. A lot of the multiplatform software will use the same resources regardless of the OS. Many apps eat RAM for breakfast, doesn't matter if it's content creation or software development. Heck, even smartphones these days have have this much or more RAM.

I won't argue, I just won't buy an Apple product in the near future or probably ever at all.

buys [insert price] laptop, top of the line, flagship, custom silicon, built ground up to be purpose specific.

Opens final cut pro: crashes

ok...

Especially paired with Apple's 128gb integrated, non replaceable hard drives. Whoops you installed all of Microsoft office? Looks like you have no room to save any documents :(

ah yes, we can't forget the proprietary non controller based nvme drives that use m.2 but arent actually nvme drives, they're just flash.

it's NVME in the sense that it's non volatile flash, probably even higher quality than most existing NVME ssds out there today.

The thing is that it literally just the flash. On a card with an m.2 pin out, that fits into an m.2 slot, it doesn't have a storage controller or any standardized method of communication, that already exists. It's literally a proprietary non standard standard form factor SSD.

The controller is integrated onto the silicon chip die itself, there is no storage controller on the storage itself.

Yet another reason to never go back to Apple

apple, we innovate where no one else does, because for some reason, we like doing that.

Apple, we innovate where "everyone" else has already done.

Fixed it for you.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago

Apple, we innovate things, sometimes, for reasons.

Same. And I bet you the price will also go up with less ram.
