A laptop starting at almost 3 grand with only 24gb ram is a tragedy, the RAMpocalypse is brutal.
Basically $400 premium for a screen upgrade. I'm sure the screen is brilliant but mini LED is very much not bad. It's a real bummer that we seem to be entering an era where each year with tech it leans more towards a new product offering that is more but for more money versus getting more for our dollar consistently.
OLED feels pretty established at this point... could they really not have pulled off just making that the default screen on pro's or is this just a price gouge for a premium feature.
Any person or business actually needing 24gb of RAM in a Mac is doing cutting edge computing work and is making 3 grand of revenue at least per day.
These are considerably lighter as well. 3.5lb -> 3lb and 4.7lb -> 4lb are a meaningful difference. That's worth $$ too
