Apple says new MacBook Pro has only 16GB of RAM to save battery life

Going into the article thinking "16GB for a base model makes sense"
Turns out this is the maximum you can get...ouch
Well, at least no one is going to be doing anything graphically intensive on a MacBook Pro, like the entire design industry. /s
> I hope you check out this new generation MacBook Pro, it really is an incredible system.
Sounds like Trump.
But wouldn't that extra little screen/bar eat more battery life than a stick of RAM?
I should be able to choose upgrades and make battery decisions for myself. That's BS and I'm a "fanboy".
This is coming from a PC guy that doesnt know much about macs, but is 16gb of ram not much? Thats as much as my desktop pc...
Depends on what you want to do with it. The Pro line is considered something for intensive work and usually packs a fair amount of horse power. The last gen Mac Book Pro had at least 16GB of RAM, so you'd expect the newer version to support more.
The average consumer wouldn't need more, but then the average consumer may want to stick with a non "pro" computer, especially given its price. Perhaps Apple has figured out their core market doesn't need more, who knows.
lol.

It's alright for right now but you don't buy a $2k computer so that it's obsolete in 2-3 yrs.
It's so cool now that we have all installed ubuntu on our iphones and macbooks!
If you want choice and to make decisions yourself, apple is the wrong company to buy from.

Well there are still good macs out there for that. I'd say this is more aimed at personal users who care more about telling people they have the new mac book pro, than whatever it can actually do.
Edit: To all the people saying "but it's the pro version. It's for professionals"
Bullshit. It's for people who want to feel better than "the average user".
I concur. The price tag would shy away the avg consumer base that has nothing to do with 16GB of RAM. I would have liked to have seen an increase of RAM only because it's been 4 long years for an update to the lineup. In those 4 years I'm sure programs that run with high graphical needs must have been pushing for more, hence a bump in RAM could/should have been expected. But I dunno that's just my opinion man.
It goes a long way for creative suite type applications, video editing, etc. And the people who use those applications are pretty much the only tech professionals who can both justify and operate with a mac.
Then you don't want apple products, which have always been locked down to only a small number of configurations and very hard or impossible to upgrade.

You should consider not being a "fanboy" anymore, because Apple is simply not the company for you if you want choice.
I don't think "pro" means what they think it means.
Good Macs? Yea, like hackintoshes. After this they will get way more popular.
It's not mac/not mac, but a lot of people using the pro line is using it instead of a desktop. For me that is running several virtual machines as well as tool/applications which can use 3-4GB *each*. I've been waiting to upgrade from 16GB to 32GB for years because 16GB is beginning to limit me. Now it looks like I'll have to change platform, which I really don't want to.
Maybe this wouldn't be an issue if they weren't so focused on creating a laptop suitable for a clean shave…
Who is the person that is still there saying "Let's make it thinner! Thinner is a must!" as opposed to "We can make it the same thickness- or even a bit thicker- and *double* the battery life while increasing cooling capacity!"
I would be 100% cool with having a mbpr that was the thickness of the mbp's from 2-3 years ago (with the optical drives) if it meant that the battery lasted 20-25 hours. How hard is that to understand to these people?
They removed the glowing Apple logo to counteract it :P
I'm happy I got my older model stuff. 2012 macbook and iphone 5s. I don't think I'll ever bother upgrading unless apple stops shitting the bed.
Have you upgraded the RAM and/or HDD in your laptop?
All the engineers on my team had to upgrade their Airs to Pros due the running CPU/memory intensive VMs. Running on VPN and the VMs kills the Macbook Pro battery from about seven hours to three. We usually refresh our equipment every two years, hopefully this will be enough reason for IT to approve Linux laptops.
I bet he has because in older macbooks you were still able to upgrade RAM(very easily before, impossible now) and HDD (easily before, more difficult now).
MacBook "Pro" = MacBook Profit
