Please don't twist it. You know what I meant and I even mentioned it in my comment.
You can be a freelancer working on a commercial with heavy scene in Maya and 16gb just won't cut it.
So give them CTO option and the whole problem is sorted for everyone.
How is it possible that you guys just don't understand. They CAN'T give you a CTO option without making the thing into a laptop that is against their core design principles. Even with a thicker design, it would still have a lousy battery. That is not what Apple stands for.
If they could put 32Gb RAM in this model - they would. But it is a very portable high-performance computer. You cannot make a very portable high-performance computer with 32Gb RAM at the moment. You can make a computer that is heavy and has low battery life with 32Gb RAM, but Apple doesn't make those. So you'll either have to wait or get something else.
Apple doesn't make gaming laptops, they don't make heavy laptops, they don't make devices with low battery life. I don't get how people are somehow surprised at this.

YES, I did. I worked with APPLE SHAKE on a MacBook pro doing 2k DPX film scans from 35mm Negative. Rendered out to DPX and used ARRI laser scanner to burn back to celluloid.
This is a fact. It was for a major motion picture in a theatre.
I keep saying this:
Fact 1: For most people, this is the best compromise that could've been made. Every other decision would made that compromise different: better for some, worse for others. This is most likely the best compromise for the
majority of people.
Fact 2: For some people, it is not good enough. That doesn't change fact 1.
A lot of you keep saying, basically:
But I need more. My answer - see fact 1.
Can we drop it now?
