Is there something special about Apple's DRAM that makes it not a retarded decision to cut the amount of RAM in the baseline rMBP in half? Or did they just do it simply to give you the illusion that the price of the machine is cheaper when you'll actually pay about the same after a RAM upgrade?
While I'm not sure about "retarded", I am saddened by the RAM cut as well. We might actually pay more then before, because Apple soldered-on RAM is pretty expensive.
