Resolved Where can I find history of base specs for MBP?

[Drosera]

Hi. Any websites out there that track this? Would be interested to see how the base specs for RAM/memory/chips have changed over time without having to look them all up indvidually. Surely someone is tracking to help predict when the next jumps will be?

Thanks

Appreciate the links which has the info but I'm asking if anyone has compiled something that easily shows in a single table/page the base specs for RAM and storage over the years.

I guess not then, but just thought I wouldn't be the first person to wonder about how often they increase their base specs...

Edit: did some more digging on EveryMac and found this https://everymac.com/ultimate-mac-sort/?sort=all-macs&field[Series][0]=MacBook Pro 13-Inch so the win goes to tranceking26

I think these are roughly correct. Interesting that Apple have flip-flopped between 128GB and 256GB for their base MBPs since 2012. Wonder when we'll see this stablise to 256GB being the firm base spec...
