I’m disappointed that the RAM maxes at 16 GB. My wife’s MacBook Pro 13” from 2013 has 16 GB and it was one of the lower tier models at the time. 16 GB of RAM is fine for today, but the reason I got 16 GB for her then was so that it would run well for 7-10 years, and I don’t think a computer with 16 GB of RAM will run well 5+ years from now unless it’s only being used very lightly.
The stuff announced today didn’t strike me as something you’d want for 5-7 years. I see it as more as here’s something to play around with as Apple goes through their transition.
This is why we didn’t see redesigns and what not. These are pretty much for devs. Good enough to get people started.
It’ll be a very long road software wise. It’s not something I’d recommend to a reg consumer unless all they do is browse and play with Facebook.
