Apple hasn't suddenly stopped being Apple. They strongly differentiate the boundaries of their product lines and have never let use case leakage spread across their product lines.
replyYes, but the M3 was used in the Mac Studio as well as the Macbook Air, wasn't it?
replyThe 128gb limitation feels like it's portrayed as a limitation of the M5 chip itself -- not just of the Macbook Air product line.
Only the m3 ultra supported more than 128gb, I don't think they used them on anything other than the studio.
replyI tremble to think at the cost of 1TB of ram in an apple laptop.
replyI'm pretty sure that the market for notebooks with more than 128GB memory at Apples prices is rather small.
replyIt was the M3 Ultra that had that much RAM capacity, not the Pro or the Max.
replyIt is disappointing they didn't up it to at least 256GB on the laptops, but we'll have to wait for the next iteration of the studio to see if they'll give us 1TB unified memory.
Oh nice. Super good clarification, I appreciate the correction -- thank you!
replyHere's holding out hope that we'll still be able to see an M5 Ultra then! :)
