DDR4 and LPDDR3 have the same power usage when active, but LPDDR3 really shines when in standby mode. Have a read at the top comment for details.

Yeah sure. Dump Intel, then the MR forum haters will hate Apple for that.Let's compare it to the iPhone 7, which ships with LPDDR4. Apple does have a solution: dump Intel.
Who needs 32GB of DDR4 when you have a sweet ass touch bar?
Something, something, fake news.DDR3 and LPDDR3 are not the same, stop spreading misinformation for crying out loud.

And... with a wide-gamut DCI-P3 display, and four Thunderbolt 3 ports, each extremely versatile and supporting 40 Gbps data rates, and the laptop supporting two 5K external displays.
Meanwhile, this lemon of a MBP has been giving me RAM alerts since the first week of use. Maybe it's the perfect toy to look upwardly mobile in a Starbucks bench, but for actual work, not so much -_-
I know people always want the latest and the best, at leas that's what it says on paper.
But I'm typing this on the maxed out 2016 macbook pro model and I don't get the complaints.
Back to the point, the macbook pro is just a beast, and i wonder if people ever use max ram/cpu for a long period of time, cause for me everything seems to go quite fast.
It won't be any less capable than it already is. Nobody can ever be ahead of the curve when it comes to tech. You've still bought a great machine and it'll still be great when a new one is announced.
I'm really tired out of this kind of statements… Bla bla bla… Performance? What do you think about FCPX being the faster NLE in every feature it has? Best for organizing media, best to edit, best to export. LPX, another professional app. Mainstage, Motion, Compressor. I really don't get these complaints…Apple hasn't cared about pro users in years. Pro users are concerned about performance and reliability, but apple continues to think making their products thinner is somehow innovative. Apple can't innovate without a leader willing to challenge them to do better.
And yet you are keeping the laptop. That makes zero sense.
I'm typing this on the same machine, and my experience has been flawless, it makes me wonder what the hell is going on with Apple's QA.I'm typing this on the maxed out 2016 MBP too, which has given me an orchestra of kernel panics, RAM alerts, beachballs, program crashes, Touchbar glitches and a plethora of accidental mistakes due to the ridiculous size of the trackpad. Experiences vary.
Apple chose to maintain your battery life over the performance or "spec numbers" and in this case, I rather have slower RAM with longer battery life than faster RAM.
The only benefit of DDR5/4 for common users is density and the number of people wanting 32GB of RAM is extremely small. Since Apple is not in market for professional users that need 32GB, they could care less and going to focus on what majority of users want, light powerful devices with longer battery life. That's where Apple failed for me, they could've gone with larger battery in the same thicker chassis.
