That's why I said 'for some'. Apple tend to market their products at 'creatives' and generally speaking, media creation applications like lots of RAM. Perhaps this is why the 16" MacBook Pro remains on Intel?
Full disclosure - I have hated Apple since being forced to provide desktop support for Mac Classics and their stupid 1 button mice in the early 90's. Having said that, I've also supported NeXTcubes running on trading floors which I regard quite highly, so Jobs wasn't all bad
no. Macs were a breakthrough til 1995 when MS finally caught up. Classic has no reason to exist, except for price, slow CPU, black-n-white graphics. M1 seems interesting. I know the history. I was there when PowerPC came, RISC is always faster and more efficient than CISC. Thank God for ARM and their RISC architecture!
