Never understood why Macs don't come with 16 (or even 32GB) base RAM. If I'm paying 1100 for a device, I don't expect to have the same amount of ram as a £250 Chromebook, as that's unacceptable, especially when it's £200 to go to 16GB, when in reality, that should be for 64 or 128GB of RAM

You get best display, best processor, best battery, best build, best speakers and a lot more for that price. The RAM is not an issue.

Also, if you think you can get 128GB of this quality RAM for 200 dollars...

So how much does 128GB of LPDDR5X cost a manufacturer since you seem to be an expert on pricing?

LPDDR5X

I'm not making any claims about price, except I know it's way beyond 200 dollars based on common sense.
