Ouch.

Just realized something. That 8GB of RAM is already there. This is $200 for 8GB more.

Actually, the 8GB of RAM is already there. This is $200 for 8GB more.

That's not your only completely incorrect statement. How about "Spinning drives are actually faster than SSDs for mass media archives?"

Solved, and it's still cheaper than Canada:

So? I'm calling out the bullshit in the article and the complete factual inaccuracies. I didn't say if the laptop was for me or not. In fact, I never even mentioned anything of the sort.

Yeah this article is full of incorrect info.

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.
