8Gb of RAM for the $499 one! Bwahahaha
Why are they even offering this? Nothing should come with 8Gb RAM any more.:eek: What a ripoff. MacRumors is not doing anyone a favor by posting this discount.

The next iteration M3 should come standard with 16Gb. Something tells me it wont though and will be another $200-$300 to upgrade it.

Apple is polluting the environment with all these 8GB Macs. 8GB that people will quickly outgrow or they will think Macs are not good and just go back to Windows.
