Yeah, and upgrading to even 32 GBs is SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS.

I get that it has to be soldered on or whatever, but I'm looking at faster RAM on Newegg right now, in brand names, single module DDR4, for ~115.

I really wanna buy Apple stuff, but stuff like this continually keeps me away when I finally get to the Buy page.

The 27” models have user-accessible DIMM slots in a compartment on the back, so you’re ok to get that RAM from Newegg or Crucial. That’s what I will be doing.

Soldering on is cheaper than not. It costs more because of the vendor lock-in value-based pricing.

But that doesn't apply to the 27" Mac which has non-soldered slots.
