Apple has a memory problem and we're all paying for it::Apple still sells expensive "Pro" computers with just 8GB of RAM and charges a fortune for more.
Maybe not this specific thing, but Apple is super influential on the industry as a whole and when other companies see people tolerate Apple's bullshit, they follow suit.
Ms are only worth drooling over as far as power consumption. Relatively cheap 7840u outperforms M2 in every benchmark. I9s are just in a completely different league.
I'll wait for Snapdragon X Elite from a more reasonable company or a RISC-V chip in a Linux laptop if stars really align.
"we're all paying for it"
Journalism these days is fucking awful
It's from a news organisation called "MacWorld". What were you expecting exactly?

Yep. I am reminded of 3.5mm audio jack being removed from phones because Tim Cook was 'brave'.
Well I do think the high cost of expansion RAM in Apple products is tied to school shootings, gerrymandering, and the prison industrial complex.
That is in the context of “Apple customers”.
Just a thought.
If I'm being generous, it's macworld.com speaking to an audience of Apple users.
But no, I am not paying for it. I'm over here drooling at M1 chips, but then stopping when I see the baggage that comes with it.
