While M1 Macs have the RAM and SSD soldered to the logic board, it's been discovered that users armed with patience may be able to upgrade the memory and storage of Apple's M1 chip.
The new M1 laptop chip in Apple's refreshed Mac mini, as well as in the 13-inch MacBook Air and Pro models, maxes out at 32 gigabytes of RAM. Also, it doesn't support external GPUs (eGPU) via Thunderbolt like its Intel-based counterpart does. Here's what's going on...
A leaker claims that the flagship iPhone 12 Pro models — the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max — will come outfitted with six gigabytes of RAM while a pair of non-Pro models will apparently remain stuck with four gigabytes of RAM like the current iPhone 11 family.
Want to increase the amount of RAM in your 13-inch MacBook Pro via the online Apple store at the time of purchase? This is now going to cost you double than just a few days ago because Apple has quietly doubled the cost RAM upgrades for the entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro.
According to a Chinese carrier listing, the second-generation iPhone SE that Apple announced yesterday likely includes three gigabytes of RAM versus two gigabytes in the original model. Moreover, the new handset is believed to pack in a bigger 1,821mAh battery than the original iPhone SE, which launched in 2016 with a 1,624 mAh cell.
Codes strings uncovered from the golden master build of iOS 13.4 that was seeded to testers Wednesday ahead of March 24 launch indicate that all of the new iPad Pro models that were unveiled yesterday most likely come equipped with six gigabytes of RAM.
Apple yesterday released its new workstation — the $5,999 Mac Pro — and soon after the company's official support channel on YouTube published a pair of videos demonstrating how to add more memory to your computer and upgrade its graphics subsystem.
Rather than budget for a new computer, sometimes you can put together a deal that will keep you going with what you already have - or what you can get your hands on cheap - that turns out to be a better value. That's what I discovered recently with a 13-inch MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) that I got my hands on. Here's what I did.
As we told you this morning, refreshed iMacs offer not only faster CPUs but more affordable RAM and GPU upgrade options, too. As it turns out, Apple's now lowered prices on flash storage upgrades for the new MacBook Air, Mac mini and MacBook Pro models, as well as tweaked some other build-to-order options for iMac Pro and Mac Pro.
In addition to refreshing the consumer iMac line this morning with a 2x faster performance via up to six-core Intel Core i9 CPU options and new GPU upgrades (Vega 20 for 21.5-inch models and Vega 48 for 27-inch models), Apple just added some fresh new RAM and GPU options to its iMac Pro all-in-one, which launched in December 2017.
If you choose to upgrade your 2018 Mac mini from the default 8 gigabytes of RAM to, say, 32 gigs at the time of purchase using build-to-order options on Apple's online store, that'll be an extra $600. iFixit's do-it-yourself kit can give you the same upgrade for $275 less.
If you own an Apple computer, especially a modern one, then you’ve probably come to notice how particularly thin these machines have become. Despite that, most Macs still sport internal cooling fans to keep the CPU and GPU temperatures in check.
By default, Apple’s internal cooling fans run as silently as possible for a quiet user experience, but this isn’t without its caveats. Thinner machines like the MacBook Pro are more susceptible to heat soak because the cooling capabilities of such a compact chassis are limited; this is something you’ve undoubtedly felt while the machine sits on your lap during intensive tasks.
