Ha! I knew they would pull the bullshit of ‘well ours is equivalent to twice that amount in other types!’

Such utter bullshit. Make a decent machine that can be upgraded easily not junk hardware with everything soldered in place.

It's actually a great machine. It's rendered less great by its inability to be upgraded.

The claim that it’s equivalent to 16GB is incorrect, probably closer to 10-12GB on a Windows computer. Linux however is different, and in some cases better than MacOS at memory usage.

Snobbish computer company can't admit fault. News at 11.
