Once Apple's last keynote ended, in which the Cupertino-based company presented the new MacBook Pros, users of these types of devices began to express their discomfort over several aspects. The one that attracted the most attention was the issue of price, since this new model had increased its minimum price by $ 200, while in other countries the increase was much higher. In the UK for example, he has increased by 500 pounds, also due to the controversial Brexit, which has already generated the rise of products not only from Apple but also from Microsoft.
Another controversial issue is related to the maximum RAM supported by these devices, set at only 16 GB. It should be remembered in the MacBook Pro that hit the market in 2010It already supported that amount of memory and that 6 years later, the amount of supported RAM is exactly the same does not seem to have been very funny to the users of this particular model.
A user tried to find out by sending an email to Phil Schiller asking him why the new MacBook Pro does not equip a maximum of 32 GB of RAM. Schiller said that a laptop with more than 16 GB of RAM makes the device consume more battery, so the company could not continue to offer the 10 hours of autonomy that this device promises.
Apparently Apple has not wanted to offer this RAM capacity or as an option, since battery life specifications would be depleted, something that may be the same for users who need a laptop with that amount of memory and where battery life is secondary.
And then if memory can be increased?
It cannot be expanded. 16GB is the maximum so it doesn't affect battery performance.
