      I mean… I know dae Apple bad, but yeah… an 8GB RAM mac performs better than a 16GB Windows machine.

      Linux on the other hand, nah.

        Came here to say this. I know folks want to hate on Apple, and I do think that 16GB should ship in every Pro monikered machine, but 8GB of RAM in the M series packages is not the same as two 4GB DDR4/DDR5 RAM sticks in your laptop or desktop Windows machine. The hardware architecture inherently uses the RAM more efficiently, as does the OS written to target this hardware.

        But, again, Apple should up the base RAM.

          16GB abso should be minimum for a PRO model, full agree there.

          It’s just so funny to me how many people are like 8GB IS SO SLOW AND BAD AND UNUSABLE which is… not even really true for Windows. I have found four different people inexpensive 8GB Windows machines for daily use.

          But OSX is so efficient with RAM, it’s completely usable for even more intensive things.

          Name a model “pro”? Just fuckin put 16GB in it lawl

          My 2011 MBP has 16GB and a SSD.

    FTA:

    “AirJet isn’t a consumer product–consumers can’t buy it and modify their own MacBook Air, nor does Frore plan to create a kit for consumer sale. Frore’s MacBook Air demo is a proof of concept that it can be beneficial in a MacBook.”

    Soooo… “Dear Apple… NOTICE UUUUUSSSSS!!!”

      It sounds like they want to be acquired, and if their tech is as good as this article makes it seem, maybe Apple should. :)

            No one needs to buy a rival or steal their tech anymore. Just get them to launch on the stock exchanges and then destroy them with your wallstreet buddies right there with some good old short and distort and cellar boxing, etc.

              Apple buys companies like this all the time. Purchasing a company of this size would be like you or I opting for an extra shot of espresso at a coffee shop to them: trivial with significant competitive advantage.

          That’s not what that word means in the context you’re implying it. Also Apple hasn’t been shy about acquiring companies for their tech.

        That’s an interesting question. What’s considered a reputable brand in 2023? What do you consider durable? One company allows you to replace every component with non broken parts and upgrades when they arrive, take older parts and reuse them in other projects, provides schematics to roll your own accessories and encourages tinkering. The other company is so locked down that when 1 component fails the device fails. When the device gets old it is thrown in a landfill. The power of the system is artificially “tuned” for battery longevity at the cost of performance because once again you can’t swap the battery…

        C’mon, man.

          What i think reputable & durable laptop is like Lenovo Thinkpad or Dell XPS or HP Elitebook, is Framework Laptop as durable as Thinkpad or XPS ?
          Honestly from what i saw in their promotional video framework laptop are good kinda like Panasonic ToughBook but cheaper, but it’s like magical think to some people because you can replace everything even the motherboard itself to whatever you like as long it’s compatible with your laptop case
          Even Panasonic ToughBook can’t change everything, you can only swap it with another modules

    A pro is same as an air but with a fan so its not throttled.

    Also these drain battery so unless integrated by apple its useless
