Apple’s MacBook Pro memory problem is worse than ever::Apple still sells expensive "Pro" computers with just 8GB of RAM and charges a fortune for more.

Also, it’s known that Apple’s “pro” devices most of the time just mean they’re just their most expensive tier. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Your lack of knowledge shows. Everyone with at least 2 brain cells and capability to read can understand that this is just plain wrong.

Macbook pro for example has a CPU cooler inbuilt (first ever on a laptop BTW)

That part of my comment was a bit of an hyperbole tbh, but it’s also true that Apple just slaps the “Pro” moniker to their most expensive tier without always making them deserve it.

Before the iPhone 15 Pro series, there wasn’t really much “pro” in the Pro models. Same with the iPad Pro, sure they’re way nicer and higher end, but hardly anything “pro” about them.

And don’t get me started with the new baseline 14 inch MacBook Pro, with a regular M3 and 8GB of RAM.

Yeah I was just joking - since the MBA - MBP difference is basically that MBP has a cooling fan
