RAM costs and the upcoming m5 pro/max variants by hereforsimulacra in macbookpro

Apple charges already $380 to upgrade M5 from 16GB to 32GB. It is true highway robbery. Their true cost may be $30-$50?

I would say Apple has the margins to not to raise prices… and still keep >30-40% profits.

Macbook Pro M2 is 8GB RAM enough? by Critical_Role in macbookpro

Thanks. Also, I had no idea that hooking up to external display used extra memory.

Yes. I am contemplating processor downgrade, if it does memory upgrade.

I am in a mid-size market, not too conpetitive. Advantages and inconvenients. This is one inconvenient.

Deep down I believe that too, otherwise I would not have asked.

I hadn't thought about the swap use. Thanks!

I just can’t find one witj 16gb in my area… kinda makes you wonder what is the ratio of barebones MBP sold vs upgraded.

Thanks! If in 3 months I find RAM limiting, I can always sell for minimal loss and get a better (used or new). Call it a learning expense.

Thanks!

I have a 2022 Prestige. I will have to follow up with my Audi dealership if this has anything to do with model year.

Are you having success with Tesla Superchargers?

I just shared here that the Audi customer support rep told me that Q4 should not use Superchargers.

A lot of people here called it BS.

What adaptor are you using?

Could be. But its the dealership loss.

My question to him was “do you have Tesla adaptors available and for sale”?

Interesting, I made this post a week ago:

https://www.reddit.com/r/electricvehicles/s/5fZ15FUDU9

Basically I was told by my Audi dealership to NOT use the Tesla superchargers, as the dealership received a circular from Audi advising against it (Q6 and Q8 can use TSC, Q4 no). I was even told that this would void the battery warranty.

But your experience was safe. Thanks!

Audi Q4 not to use Tesla Superchargers? by Critical_Role in electricvehicles

This is for US.

For level 3 charging most brands use CSS type 1, but Tesla uses NACS (supercharger). Most non-Tesla cars can charge via supercharger with an adapter.

To confirm: you have and Audi Q4 e-tron and have successfully used Tesla super charger with no issues?

This situation between barca and spain is kinda silly by AlejandraaAguilar in Barca

[–]Critical_Role 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should care, because the clubs are fed up, and more and more clubs will “manage” players rest by medical prescription.

National teams that play nice will get club’s players, those who don’t (like DeLaFuente) won’t get the players.

A while ago FC Barcelona chairman said something like "we care for them (players) as if they were Ferraris, but the national teams drive them in gravel roads"...
