Apple commented on the decision to limit the maximum amount of RAM in the new MacBook Pro with 16 gigabytes. The company said that using more RAM would reduce the battery life of laptops.
What is the limit on the amount of RAM in the new MacBook Pro told the Vice-President of worldwide product marketing Apple Phil Schiller in a conversation with a user.
“That’s a good question. To use more than 16 GB of fast RAM in laptops at the moment, requires special memory system, which consumes more energy and is not efficient enough for laptops. I hope that you will appreciate the new generation of MacBook Pro, it’s just an incredible device,” wrote a top Manager.
Apple specifies the battery life of 10 hours when surfing the web and watching videos in iTunes. The company decided to limit the ability to upgrade to 16 gigabytes, not to sacrifice this value. The new 13-inch MacBook Pro comes standard with 8 GB of RAM upgradeable to 16 GB, and 15-inch models adopted for the standard 16 GB of RAM.
