Apple introduces M4 chip

I don't think we ever were at a point in computing were you could buy a high-end (even entry level macbooks have high-end pricing) laptop with the same amount of ram as you could 10 years earlier.

8 GB were the standard back then.

10 years the ago the default for macbook pros was 4GB, and those started showing their age very quickly for what was not a small amount of money.

I'm not sure that's true:

Hmm, unexpected. I was quite sure my partner's 2015 mbp was sitting at 4gb, but you win this one! ;)

Edit: I confirmed that I was indeed wrong, but the payoff isn't great anyway because that just means that yes in fact they've kept the exact same ram floor for 10 years. Insane.
