Apple’s MacBook Pro memory problem is worse than ever::Apple still sells expensive "Pro" computers with just 8GB of RAM and charges a fortune for more.

Remember the G4 iBook? I used the crap out of that machine, it was built like a tank. I upgraded the ram, installed a new wifi card, swapped the broken keyboard and bought a new battery, all by myself. The little beast still runs, albeit suffering a lot with new modern, web based tasks.

The Macbook M1 I got from work makes me terrified to even use it, because it feels so fragile in comparison. I don't carry it around like I used to do with the iBook.

Is it a MBP M1? The ones they’ve been handing out at my office are tanks compared to the pre-2017 (modern) MacBooks.

I think that’s also just part of how laptops are made now. How Thin/Light a laptop is can be a major selling point
