Considering that RAM is shared with the GPU, it’s still not enough.

It’s OK - for an extra $400 they’ll sell you one with an extra $50 worth of RAM.

It doesn’t even cost that for them.

I think they meant what the end user would NORMALLY pay, which is the better comparison.

I remember an Apple fanboy arguing that this made things better!

It does make some things better, but there are a number of downsides too. The biggest downside is that it’s not practical to make the memory socketed because of the speed that’s required.

They balance that out by having almost no games for the Mac anyway.
