    An extra $100 takes you from 8GB to 64GB on a PC if you install it yourself.

      If you have a laptop that supports that, yeah. Which you should, but definitely isn’t always true.

      Used to be true on Macs…good ol’ days

        not by much; here in central europe a 2 module 64gb kit costs about 125€ (~135$ incl. VAT). not the greatest timings, but very much faster than the swapfile.

          I do wish Apple had dimm slots for “slow” ram just to get the numbers up. IMO the 8GB model isn’t a serious offer and is to be ignored by anyone who tells the difference. That said, If I had only $200 for upgrades on a Mac I’d spend it on ssd. I had a 32/512 MacBook and I wish I’d paid up for 1TB. 16/1TB would’ve been more useful.
