What's with Mac people suddenly going "8gb of ram is plenty" since the Neo came out?

It's just the price and segment. 8GB on a MacBook Pro (which, in 2024, had a starting price of $1,599 despite having only 8GB of RAM) is horrible, and was never OK. 8GB on a MacBook Neo (which, in 2026 has a starting price of just $599) is perfectly fine. 24GB should be the minimum in 2026 (for a pr

Apple unleashes M5, the next big leap in AI performance for Apple silicon

Base config on the M5 MacBook Pro is still 16GB RAM. With all the stuff running in the background, they should have bumped base RAM up to at least 24GB. My M1 Pro with 16GB needs to use swap to handle stuff. But it will probably be another 10 years before Apple increases base RAM across the lineup.

Framework Laptop 16 Gets NVIDIA RTX 5070 12 GB Upgrade Module for Eyewatering Price of $1,199

Except they actually don’t. The base MacBook Pro has a 1 TB SSD and upgrading to 2 TB costs $400. 8 GB of additional memory costs $200, by the way. Apple literally sells an entire laptop with 256 GB of storage and 8 GB of RAM for $600, or just $500 with the educational discount.

Apple M5 Pro & M5 Max GPU Analysis - M5 Max GPU on par with the GeForce RTX 5070 and faster than Strix Halo

I was making the point that it is a little unfair to compare a $6k MacBook Pro to a sub $3k device. strix halo $ for $ outperforms it. The Strix Halo at $3k will outperform the same $3k MacBook which will likely put you at a 15c/16g M5 Pro with only 48gb of ram. Even if you consider resale you're be

Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x with X2 Elite available for sale $1899

Apple prices are nuts too. Starting at $1700 for the base MacBook Pro with 16GB of RAM. To go to 32 is an extra $400. Weirdly, the cost that Apple used to charge for RAM that people used to complain about is now basically the standard cost

Is it time to move on (to a Neo)?

I mean this kindly, but I don't think you understand what you're saying. While the Apple Silicon is famously power efficient, there's nothing magical about the memory management. All the same techniques for virtual memory compression, app napping, application save states, and smart paging are availa

I made an AI agent called iClaw that's part-OpenClaw, part-Siri, using only Apple Intelligence

Unfortunately I don't think iClaw can be adapted for a 2017 MacBook Pro. There are guides for Intel Macs, but from a quick Google search these MacBooks shipped with Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640. I suspect there are very few LLMs you can run, and most would be much worse than Apple's 3B Foundation Mo
