For the 40th Anniversary of the Mac... here are 40 years of All-In-One Macs' base SKU memory capacities.
It's sometimes tricky to tell which SKUs were still on sale at what time, so this is just based on "entry level" product introductions.
Memory increased quickly until the Mac Plus. 1986 to 1990 were all about decreasing the entry Mac price. Then we get a pretty straight logarithmic line until Tim Cook became CEO and there has only been a single increase since.
@dschaub @atpfm @siracusa I was actually disappointed that they “fixed” the slow SSD speed in the lowest end MacBook Air. I’d rather they had slightly slower SSDs with larger storage. 256GB should not be sold any more.
Apple’s SSDs are ridiculously fast so being half the speed is actually still fast. And it’s way faster than a horrible fusion drive. Bigger cheaper slightly slower SSDs please.
No doubt.
Heck, I would love cheap 8TB SSDs at SATA-3 600 Mps... but maybe not to boot off of :)
