Apple introduces $599 MacBook No.
(I actually think it looks pretty good. I just thought this was funny.)

@maxleibman

cheaper than most of their phones...how much ram does it have?

@noondlyt 8 GB. Which does give me pause—on a modern Mac, I'm not that worried about that now (I used an M1 Mac mini with 8 GB from 2020 through 2024 without issue. It's not like trying to use Windows 11 on 8 GB), but it isn't very heavily future-proofed.

@maxleibman

Yeah, I think it's ridiculous especially considering how AI loaded it probably is.

@noondlyt I don’t think it would bog down much if you aren’t using local AI for anything (at least not from AI). The nice thing about Apple Intelligence (so far, anyhow) is how easy it is to ignore, and it doesn’t just run off and do things in the background. Yet.

@maxleibman

Good point.
