minus-square@Tak@lemmy.mlOPlinkfedilink31•1 year agoStorage and RAM has always been cheaper for computers than phones because they don’t have the size constraints. Computers also use way more RAM and storage than phones.
minus-square@deegeese@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilink1•1 year agoSounds like those two components have overcome miniaturization constraints and can fit on single chips now.
minus-square@Tak@lemmy.mlOPlinkfedilink23•1 year agoThey haven’t. Apple just gouges the fuck outa that shit and charges $200 for 8GB more RAM and $400 for 1TB more storage. This is why the $80 Raspberry pi has as much RAM.
minus-square@otacon239@feddit.delinkfedilink2•1 year agoNot that Apple’s pricing isn’t definitely over the top, but the RAM on a Raspberry Pi isn’t even in the same league as RAM in a MacBook Pro.
minus-squareTurboWafflzlinkfedilink0•1 year agoWell yeah, but aren’t these prices the price for the whole system, not just the storage and ram?
