RAM in next year's 12-inch rMBP

[thejackson5]

I'd bet on DDR4 RAM when skylake goes in.

I don't know much about that, but it doesn't seem like that'd be too big of a deal for me:

« [C]omparing DDR3 and DDR4, neither was a clear performance leader. The difference between DDR3-2133 and DDR4-2133 was negligible in a number of applications, ranging from Handbrake video conversion to half a dozen different games. DDR3 was slightly faster about half the time, and typically only a few percentages points separated the two memory types ».

Yeah, but Apple is using LPDDR3-1600MHz memory, not 2133MHz

Doesn't DDR4 come with (slightly) more power savings as well?

Ues, apparently Apple wants to use it in its iDevices for this reason.

To each his own, but I always have to wonder what the point of having several hundred tabs open is. And how do you find what you are looking for then? And on a 12" screen with a mobile dual core processor... It's always interesting what bizare usage scenarios people have.

Tomorrow I have to check how many tabs I can open in my rmbp just for the hell of it.

The solution for your problem is simple: Don't get get the new macbook!
Get the 15" rmbp. Large screen, 16gb ram and a quadcore i7.
