Nah its about £13 retail.

Oh wait, you mean from apple... Its £200 from them.

Yes, my bad, I wanted to say the difference in price between the 8 and 16Gb model, I know that RAM became dirt cheap nowadays and there aren't any excuses for Apple to continue offering 8Gb model, as this is exactly a planned obsolescence.

Yeah I was just pointing out the insanity of their pricing, using sarcasm. Its the main way we communicate over here.

The price difference between the first 2 models where 8gb ram is the only change, is £200. Post 2025 I'm going to need some solution to replace my windows install which solely runs CAD/CAM software. If it wasn't for this scumbaggery I'd buy a Mac to replace win10, but at present apple are such a shower of cunts I think I may have to put up with win11.

What a fucking choice...

You know there's a third way...

I already run Linux for everything else. Its not an option for my CAD work unfortunately
