And Apple should be held accountable because they put TOO MUCH price margin for every spec increase. For example for every 8GB RAM or 256GB SSD increase it cost you 200 bucks, that means if you want to choose 16GB RAM and 512GB storage you need to pay extra 400 bucks. That margin should be at least 50% lower than the current one, as the true cost of 8GB RAM + 256GB SSD combined are only like 40 bucks, a mere 10% of the Apple's price

You can forget both, thus type of RAM must be close to the CPU and GPU because it's lose a significant amount of signal power with distance, and by the way it's just use way less power like the replaceable, so do you think it's a good trade if you sacrifice the power consumption and even the transfer speed? (So you lose a few hours of battery time and also your 400GB/s will fall back to 40-50GB/s) And for the storage, they have their own made unique type RAID, which is controlled by the SoC, and for any random storage they can't do the same, not to mention the 4 nand chip use 25% of power each, so 100% in total but in 4 pieces, on 4 different location, if you push that power to a single storage than even the heat generation there is 4x more, which is required a cooler ot at least a heat sink on the SSD, and that is just a lot of extra problem an even wasted energy if you want to cool the storage properly.

​@@TamasKiss-yk4st As for the RAM, may I introduce you to LPCAMM. And for storage, being able to replace an SSD is worth so much more than the speed of a mass storage device for most humans. Even if they are not techy, repair shops can recover customers data way easier and as an added benefit to users, you dont have to buy an entire new device, just because you picked up video editing as a new hobby. RAM I can somewhat understand the rationale Apple provides, but in combination with the mass storage being soldered, its just an obvious bs-reason to be able to make more money.

My wishlist for new macbook: - make lighter devices (it's possible lots of PC laptop are lighter without sacrificing durability) - include a USB A port - starts at 16gb ram all model - free m2 ssd slot in addition to OS ssd so users can add memory themselves. And apple still keeps his own integrated ssd for security, speed etc. - DC dimming option for mini led or oled display, for PWM sensitive users - more media engine - bring back the touchbar on top of functions row (basically, have both). Touchbar is actually useful when used with software like Better Touch Tool that allow customizing it. With BTT you can create powerful macros that can be easily activated from the touchbar with no need to remember extra keyboard shortcuts.

Still more than $1,000 for 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage though, fucking Apple.

Great video Josh & Team. I returned to macOS after 30 years w the 16” M1 MacBook Pro & for my uses (productivity-great display, no fan noise) it is great. Although I am not price sensitive, I am gouge sensitive. Apple makes great products however as you said “Apple is Profits over People”. Totally agree with RAM & storage issues; a major profit margin boost for Apple. Somehow Apple fans cannot see the reality in Apple’s business model: Apple has a long term profit margin twice that of most oil companies, who most people hate! That video of Tim Cook & company w “Mother Earth”, coming from the company manufacturing the least repairable products in the industry was far more cynical than the iPad latest crush video which generated backlash. If Apple wanted to be Green, they would explain to customers their devices need to be larger, w thicker bezels etc, to make them more repairable. In the end, all of us (including myself) are responsible for enabling their behavior. I look forward to QCOM Snapdragon laptops pressuring Apple; we will all benefit from the competition.

Perfect!! Excellent video. Realistic Wishlist.

My theory is, Apple dropped the m3 chip so early that they didn’t want to render the m2 MacBooks obsolete. They’re guaranteed to make money off the people who just have to have the newest tech, as well as enticing some people to the m3 chip with slightly better performance. BUT, the m3 didn’t outperform the m2 so much that the m2 stopped selling altogether. I have a feeling the m4 chips are going to be the next real iteration of Apple’s lineup, the m3 was just a bridge to keep people happy, bring in revenue, and test the waters.

Apple has a different approach to RAM and storage. They want the fastest with low latency, and soldered storage and RAM provide that. This is more so because storage is used for swap, which is best with a low latency. Intel has switched chiefly to soldered RAM, such as LPDDR5X, the fastest RAM that does not come in a modular design. In 2025, we should see some LPCAMM2 RAM, which is not modular per se; if you upgrade from 16GB to 32GB, you cannot just add 16GB; you must buy a 32GB board. So, upgrading to save money will be more expensive and probably cheaper when ordering directly from the OEM. As for storage, you can buy what you need or use an external Thunderbolt drive.

Teardowns show that the RAM modules in the M4 on the iPad Pro are 6GB, although only 4GB are active. This suggests that this will be an M4 design and that we should expect 12GB as the new base and 24GB as the second tier on the M4 base models. Apple has installed 6GB of modules on the M3 Pro and M3 Max, which are cheaper. I think a 12GB base would satisfy most of the complaints, and 24GB as the alternative would be suitable for most ultrabook use cases, especially with swap. I have yet to hear about base storage, and there are conflicting signals here. But, I wonder if Apple will address base RAM and storage in the same cycle. I doubt the chassis will be redesigned, and OLED is not due until the M5 (I hope that changes as the M4 has a Tandem OLED co-processor). So there are a few changes, mainly moving away from the stop-gap N3B to N3E, which is a significant jump in architecture.

Hey i also want to buy mackbook pro im 18 and i want it for editing videos and some more heavt work im waiting for m4 pro but whats ur experience will it done the job? I have budget only for 18gb ram 512 gb storage will that be enough?

I’d bet money they give us 10 or 12 GB baseline before 16 lmao

another video, another good day❤

Josh, Im wondering, if the rumours of Nvidia 5000 series coming out early 2025 is true, are we going to be getting another round of windows laptops with 4000 mobile chip in them? or will they already have access to the 5000 series?

having a faster ssd on macbook pros would be a good solution too

I just want like ALL the unified memory with huge bandwidths o.o

Today’s Apple just does so much wtf stuff. They should be trying to gain customer goodwill, this dime and nickeling customers over ram and ssd upgrades is clobbering their reputation. And arm of laptops are on the horizon, I wonder if those will finally give the kick in the rear Apple so badly needs.

These are all nice, but we all know they are gonna give us one upgrade at best... oh and now it starts at 1999 at 8GB ram. Oh what's the update u ask? M4, the most powerful chip ever. OLED screen? Nah that's coming only in the 4 and 8 TB storage. If ur getting 512/1T/2TB u won't need the OLED screen anyway.

Qualcomm made a huge mistake not allowing upgradeable ram as thin ram is now availble and thats a good reason to buy one over the other. .supposedly greedy qualcomm gave is on ssds and 16gb standard but forces it partners to solder the ram for at purchase profits. Asus and others may rebel and offer diy ram upgrades in the future

32gb ram 2 tb ssd standard on all machines over $2000 or more.

16GB RAM and 512GB Storage should be the minimum across the laptop lineup, from the Air to the 16”.

What we actually want is both hardware that's 100% upgradeable/not soldered AND software that's not bug riddled

Give the mac pro 2019 and m series the ability to use the latest pcie amd graphic cards and all m macs to use those cards via thunderbolt 4 and 5.pcie Tb 5 will allow for very little performance loss. If not then create your own external and pcie gpu cores box and card to add gpu power to all m1m2m3 macs and the 2019 and later mac pros. Show respect and support for those who bought your most expensive product.. Pros and everyone are seeing how you just dump them like nothing not even the latest amd gpu drivers Not a goid look.

im just trying to figureout if when GTA 6 comes out can i play it on the M4 pro macbook

You are appreciated - Thank you. Yeah... I think more and more, consumers are becoming more sensitive to being taken advantage of - Apple/Mac is one of the worst. Mac products need to match the proclamation of being products for people, not we are going to take advantage of you.

I would appreciate a thinner chasis, like it had been until 2020.

Thermals would most likely be compromised. Meaning louder fans which would kick on sooner or thermal throttling.

My wish is for them to stop nickel and dimeing you for these ridiculous upgrade charges. Storage, RAM... They're egregiously overpriced and have been for years. The RAM situation is talked about so often that I'm not sure how they keep getting away with it. Must be that people keep buying them.

How can the storage and memory spec of such a device be worse than base specs on a number of pocket devices (phones) that are even obsolete. 🤦‍♂️

The bottleneck in my workflow are my fingers.

My MacBook pro 2017 still works for what I need. For my work needs my employer has supplied me with a windows 10 desktop and M1 MacBook pro. No need for me or my employer to purchase an M2 or M3 or M4. Don't get caught up in

oled displays please!!

Do your research right mate. Click bait is ok if you provide correct info. The npu performance of the me vs m4 is not comparable check it out

So glad i bought m1 pro.

If they can keep their greed in check, especially in memory pricing, I'd consider going back to Mac after more than a decade.
