  • The new ARM technology TSMC Silicon powered MacBook Pro maxes out at 16GB of RAM & the M1 supports only 2 USB ports

    Verbatim simply because apologists literally _hate_ what Apple actually is (which is why apologists always flatly deny what Apple actually does).

    "The MBP is limited to 16GB of RAM - if you think you'll need 32GB
    then you'll have to opt for an Intel-powered model"

    Apple [really ARM/TSMC] Silicon M1 Macs do not support eGPUs <https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/11/10/apple-silicon-m1-macs-do-not-support-egpus>

    "There's also been some focus on the fact that the 13-inch MacBook Pro M1
    models only include two USB-C ports onboard instead of four"

    Ooooooops... my facts must always be correct
    o Unlike apologists, who wouldn't know a fact from MARKETING bullshit.

    Correction...

    The source for the ridiculously paltry specs of the new TSMC Silicon
    MacBook Pros, particularly for the atrociously puny RAM and laughable lack
    of expansion ports on the M1 was EnGadget (not Apple Insider)...
    o Apple's new M1 Macs won't work with external GPUs <https://www.engadget.com/apple-m1-egpu-usb-16gb-224346108.html>

    People who purchase Apple products always seem to be fooled by MARKETING.
