Apple this week announced new iMac, Mac mini, and MacBook Pro models, and they are all available with a minimum of 16GB of RAM. Apple also announced...

About time. This also applies to their older models such as M2 and M3 laptops.

In the U.S., the MacBook Air lineup continues to start at $999, so there is no price increase associated with the boost in RAM.

The M2 macbook air now starts at $1000 for 16GB RAM and 256GB storage. Limited storage aside, that’s surprisingly competitive with most modern Windows laptops.

    Lenovo is, outside of their really cheap consumer options - like, the $500-and-under options - are pretty solid.

    But yeah build quality is one reason when I roll my eyes at the ‘haha stupid buying apple! apple tax! lol ripped off!’ crowd: I mean maybe, but as soon as you pick up a Macbook whatever it’s immediately obvious that you’re getting something for what you’re paying, and not some bendy flexy piece of plastic crap that will maybe physically survive the warranty period, but not much more.
