Apple keeps flogging 8GB of RAM for its Mac computers but it's still a dead horse

Apple says 8GB is dandy for most mainstream tasks but that's not actually true.

this is a trap to upsell you 16 GB or sell you upgrade
- for grossly inflated pricing, in proud apple tradition.
- You can't upgrade a Macbook's ram, you need to replace the whole machine
- It's also a nice way to tax their poorest customers more. A lot of people are keeping their machines way past what apple provides updates for, if the ssd that can't be changed dies (because of constant swapping) faster than what they intended or could keep the machine for, I guess it's too bad for them.
