i can't tell if the ram is upgradeable. Apple says it's not user-accessible, but does that mean it's soldered in or just hard to get to?

The 9th Gen Intel CPU with hardware vulnerabilities is a hair in the soup.
EXACTLY what everyone has been asking for...and yet some will still complain
keyboard is not flawed.Sorry, but I just have to chuckle at all the folks who a month or two ago bought the 2019 15-incher, with the flawed keyboard, way worse thermal management ... absolutely convinced this one wouldn't come out anytime soon, or be way too expensive.
Now you're kinda stuck with one of the laptops that is part of what will arguably be remembered as one of the worst series of laptop designs Apple ever made.
keyboard is excellent.No , you are wrong - believe or not - some of us use USB-A ports, some of us use Magic Safe, some of use SD cards, some of us don't see the point of touch bar etc ( and please don;t say me to buy a dongles ) ....At least ( I hope ) they fixed the worst keyboard in the history....
I was sorely tempted a couple of times but something always told me to sit the 2016-19 design out... very glad I did now! Think what strikes me most with this is just how much better value it is than the 15" it replaces!Sorry, but I just have to chuckle at all the folks who a month or two ago bought the 2019 15-incher, with the flawed keyboard, way worse thermal management ... absolutely convinced this one wouldn't come out anytime soon, or be way too expensive.

Great to see Apple innovate and slash prices, producing more value for the consumer. Any word on if this machine has a Wifi6 chip in it, and if so, what chipset?
£5,769.00 for a laptop fully loaded! Are they crazy or just plain greedy. Even £2,799 for entry level is going to be too expensive for most. For that you can buy a 2nd car!
For heavens sake, that's for 64 GB of RAM and 8TB SSD drive. Would it make you happier if the maximum RAM was 32 or 16 GB, and the maximum SSD drive was 4TB, or 2TB, or 1TB?£5,769.00 for a laptop fully loaded! Are they crazy or just plain greedy.

Actually MUCH better than what people have been asking for.EXACTLY what everyone has been asking for...and yet some will still complain
It’s because the intel chipset doesn’t support WiFi 6 yet. The 9980hk procsssor and chipset are the same as the earlier 2019 15” MacBook Pro.No wifi6... I can’t understand it![]()

We weren’t going to get WiFi 6 until the next professor anyway. No surprise here.
This laptop is still worth the purchase though. Even though we know we will get a 10 core WiFi 6 model mid 2020.
Idk, they did somewhat address keyboard issues in 2018 and mine’s a base model so it’s not like the throttling is an issue.Not much, LOL. The reason for this 16-incher is the reason why few would want your old one.
I’m Ok... we have to waitIn 6 months when apple spins a new version with intel’s 10th gen chipsets, this will be a very nice machine.
