If 32GB is the max, why not just make that the one and only model and get rid of this weird segmentation. That's a ridiculously low minimum and only just barely adequate. 8GB was practically criminal. Or -- and I know this is crazy -- slottable RAM on a device that is designed for things other than portability. Wild, I know.

The ram is on the package for more than portability. It’s necessary for fast enough transfer speeds for the iGPU.

#43Side note, is there anyone that uses a Magic Mouse? It looks uncomfortable to use for an extended period of time and curious if that's true.
When I got an iMac I paid the $50 extra for the Magic Trackpad and it was worth it.

My biggest issue with it is that it's way too heavy. Once you go back to 50-60g mice you can't go back.

#45Accessories are updated to USB-C instead of Lightning
Not sure if they are purchasable separately yet though.

I guess if I actually kept my hand directly in line with the mouse it'd be pretty painful. I just about always keep my hand in a slant, more similar to how you'd use a trackpad, or as if you were holding a sort of slanted mouse.
I've stuck with it because of the well implemented 2d scrolling. Using a physical scrolling wheel feels off at this point.

Two of those modules working in parallel would hit "M Pro" speeds as well. I doubt Apple will be adopting them though, for the same reason they don't offer standard M.2 SSD slots even on systems that could obviously support them with minimal design compromises.

#4816GB base RAM, they finally did it. They also did move the Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse to USB-C.

> That's a ridiculously low minimum and only just barely adequate. What are you doing? I'm still doing web development with Chrome, JetBrains, and Docker on a 16GB M1 Pro and it isn't a problem. For the average Chrome-using citizen, 16GB should be fine.
