Apple executives once again defended the MacBook product with 8GB of memory, pointing out that it is a very suitable choice.
Mac marketing team Evan Buyze said in an interview that the 8GB MacBook is “very suitable” for daily work. These daily tasks include: web browsing, simple photo/video editing and streaming media usage.
This isn’t the first time Apple has defended its business practice of including 8GB of memory in its devices. The last time someone asked about this issue, Vice President of Worldwide Product Marketing Bob Borchers said that 8GB of unified memory is equivalent to 16GB in other systems. .
However, various tests by the media showed that this configuration was not enough to run multiple applications simultaneously, and excess data began to be read by the NAND flash memory, thus reducing their performance and durability.
Apple’s business strategy in memory is no secret. Even when the basic configuration of the Windows camp is 16GB memory plus 512GB storage capacity, it still chooses 8GB memory plus 256GB storage capacity.
Even when the Windows camp popularized 32GB memory plus 1TB storage capacity, Apple still insisted on 8GB memory plus 256GB storage capacity, and still insisted on adding 8GB memory at $1,500 and upgrading 256GB to 512GB storage capacity at $1,500.
The same is true for its iPhones. Therefore, Apple is good at making money through storage strategies. Even if the price is relatively low, it can still achieve high profits.
