Ah. But does it also make 8gb in a mac perform like 16gb on another platform?

Delusion is a fantastic name for a tech startup

It’s so bad. I have one because it was free. Firefox alone makes it max out, stutter, and lag on a 8GB model.
My laptop from 10 years ago had 16GB… I don’t know wtf is going on with this. ARM does not make it better, Apple. Like, seriously, fuck you.
MeanEYE@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Most amazing thing Apple managed to do is convince fans that is how computers should behave and that’s the best there is and everything else is worse in comparison. Kind of how North Korea thinks the rest of the world is fighting for food and dying in poverty and really really sucks at football considering they take all the trophies home. And yes I did compare Apple to NK, because it requires same level of disbelief.

I mean… I know dae Apple bad, but yeah… an 8GB RAM mac performs better than a 16GB Windows machine.
Linux on the other hand, nah.

This is 100% bullshit. Seriously, it’s wrong. I have one, and you are wrong.
LifeInOregon@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Came here to say this. I know folks want to hate on Apple, and I do think that 16GB should ship in every Pro monikered machine, but 8GB of RAM in the M series packages is not the same as two 4GB DDR4/DDR5 RAM sticks in your laptop or desktop Windows machine. The hardware architecture inherently uses the RAM more efficiently, as does the OS written to target this hardware.
But, again, Apple should up the base RAM.

FTA:
“AirJet isn’t a consumer product–consumers can’t buy it and modify their own MacBook Air, nor does Frore plan to create a kit for consumer sale. Frore’s MacBook Air demo is a proof of concept that it can be beneficial in a MacBook.”
Soooo… “Dear Apple… NOTICE UUUUUSSSSS!!!”

It sounds like they want to be acquired, and if their tech is as good as this article makes it seem, maybe Apple should. :)

Or they will “steal” it and drain the company in court.

Damn that’s crazy! Closes lid on Framework laptop
devilish666@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I want to buy Framework Laptop but is it good as reputable brands or just marketing scam ?
Honestly i like laptop that can you swap everything inside it but i doubt the durability of itthe_q@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s an interesting question. What’s considered a reputable brand in 2023? What do you consider durable? One company allows you to replace every component with non broken parts and upgrades when they arrive, take older parts and reuse them in other projects, provides schematics to roll your own accessories and encourages tinkering. The other company is so locked down that when 1 component fails the device fails. When the device gets old it is thrown in a landfill. The power of the system is artificially “tuned” for battery longevity at the cost of performance because once again you can’t swap the battery…
C’mon, man.

A pro is same as an air but with a fan so its not throttled.
Also these drain battery so unless integrated by apple its useless

Itemized invoice:
Fan $ 7
Design & overhead to incorporate fan into design $ 13
Value of increased performance, as judged by the accounting department $480SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 11 months ago
They have $999 monitor stand so its very standard Apple

I was going ask why he was wrong and downvoted. Is it because those i7 cpus happen to be newer??
