Yeah, no argument from me that it sucks there’s no option to upgrade. Other than forced segmentation and memory prices this might also be due to A18 Pro design which is more of a phone SoC - there’s no device with A18 that has different amount of RAM. I hope they’ll give an option for 12GB next year since even iPads get more these days.
My girlfriend is in the market for a new laptop since her 2012 MacBook Air is on it’s last legs and I guess Neo is what will make her upgrade. She doesn’t really multitask on her personal computer, just needs to express millennial urge to do serious things on a device that has a keyboard.
