1600MHz is barely different from 1333MHz in RAM in performance (good article on Tom's Hardware or Anandtech about this - all that really matters is capacity - not speed or CAS). Even then:

LOL.

Well, you completely changed that comment.

Yeah, I see it as a scam. Also, I had a hard time figuring out what to reply to you, because your name is absurd and awesome, and totally distracted me.

I assure you, the difference may seem like much - it is not. That's marketing games. Look at Tom's Hardware's or Anandtech's CPU charts - the difference in CPUs of such speed is negligible in real-world usage, even in professional programs.

Canada is weird:

9400RPM doesn't exist. This author has made other massive factual errors in this article as well.

The fact that it's your only choice DOES NOT make it a good deal. Apple thoroughly is scamming people here, and everyone seems happy to take it in the rear and make excuses for them. You can buy 16GB of laptop RAM on Newegg for $94 - this is more than 100% markup.

Actually that $150 is overpriced - you can find the same thing for $94 on there.

No, you're incorrect. That's SEVERELY overpriced. You can get 16GB of laptop RAM on Newegg for $94. This is MORE THAN a 100% mark-up.

No, you're incorrect, thoroughly.

I am a gamer. What's your point? I'm still 100% correct in everything I said. The article is FULL of incorrect statements.

It doesn't matter if it's the only option, a rip-off is a rip-off. The soldering of RAM is utter bullshit. I know very much what I'm talking about when it comes to hardware.

No, the $16GB of RAM is a massive rip-off. It should NEVER be priced so highly. This author has no idea what he's talking about at all - the article is filled with incorrect info.

LOL, this author has NO idea what he's talking about. Such a thing does not exist.

Agreed!

Agreed!

I'm sorry, but 9400RPM HDD? What? Such a thing doesn't even exist. And if you think maxing out the CPU will make much of a difference in a laptop model, especially from the tiny jump from 2.3GHz to 2.7GHz, you're sadly mistaken. There will be virtually no difference in gaming performance, and when it comes to…

Whoops, forgot you mentioned the trackpad (I hate all trackpads anyways - I'm a full-sized mouse user). However, I'm talking nothing more than internal hardware. The real meat-and-potatoes. Aesthetics mean nothing to me whatsoever, and outer gimmicky things are even less important. Just the technical specifications…

I can agree with this.
