Agreed. MacBook Air has quad-core in similar clock ranges but tops out at 16GB of RAM. Pay an extra $1300-ish for Pro, you can get 32GB of RAM. There's literally nothing else in this refresh that's compelling.

And the only reason I want that RAM is for Chrome.

FWIW, Firefox on 32 gb got me to over 2000+ tabs the one time I tried.

I use it. I wish I didn't need to.
