minus-squareTak@lemmy.mlOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up34arrow-down3·11 months agoStorage and RAM has always been cheaper for computers than phones because they don’t have the size constraints. Computers also use way more RAM and storage than phones.
minus-squaredeegeese@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down2·11 months agoSounds like those two components have overcome miniaturization constraints and can fit on single chips now.
minus-squareTak@lemmy.mlOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up24arrow-down1·11 months agoThey haven’t. Apple just gouges the fuck outa that shit and charges $200 for 8GB more RAM and $400 for 1TB more storage. This is why the $80 Raspberry pi has as much RAM.
minus-squareotacon239@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up2·11 months agoNot that Apple’s pricing isn’t definitely over the top, but the RAM on a Raspberry Pi isn’t even in the same league as RAM in a MacBook Pro.
