Oh yea, absolutely. I meant that in regards to the price of memory itself, be it as modules for your desktop PC or the chips itself for soldered solutions. Apple’s markup is bonkers
My girlfriends mum wanted to know why her laptop was slow… It was because HP thought that 4gb of ram is acceptable in 2022 (when the laptop was sold). Granted ram wasn’t as cheap then as it is now… Still I paid £30 for a brand new 8gb DDR4 sodimm, there’s not reason hp couldn’t do that. It’s annoying the corners these company cut.
My experience is, that 4GB is just about useable for a bit of web browsing and similar stuff. Even on windows 11. I have an old Surface Pro 4 laying around that, in a pinch, works perfectly fine with 11. Of course, it’s not fast. But it’s totally useable.
And here I am, putting 16gb in every machine I work on because it’s so damn cheap there’s no reason not to future proof
I just slap in 32GB on every computer I build because the MoBos can take 128GB and anything less feels cheap and silly.
I mean, same. The difference in price for 8GB and 16GB is negligible, especially if you want dual channel on desktops
For apple, that difference is $200… not negligible I’d say

That’s because apple is a greedy grabby company who wants all your money. The easiest solution is to stop buying their products
