    8gb of RAM isn’t a issue; it’s the fact they call it a “pro” machine and charge $1600 for 8gb of RAM.

    Apple usually isn’t competitive in pricing when it comes to RAM of storage but charging $1600 for 8gb of RAM is insulting.

      Well you do get a “Pro” machine. That’s their brand. It’s a name for their laptop. It’s all it is. It’s like getting pissed at the PS Vita for not being alive because vita means life.

      The pro moniker is just marketing.

      This is basically an air with the 120hz screen, more ports, etc.

      It will be popular

          If you spec out a dell ultrabook and match it spec for spec, you’d get the same price. It’s what stuff costs now.

            I get that. I was looking for a Thinkpad X1 to run Linux and they have similar prices, so I said screw that and I’m getting a Framework as my Linux laptop
