    These don’t use DDR5 memory. It’s all on the silicon with the CPU. The same pricing rules don’t apply.

    And Mac users tend to be less “price sensitive” than PC users. My M4 Mac mini will be here next week. 24GB should be just fine on it.

    Happily work is footing the entire bill for it, including a new monitor so it’s a pretty sweet upgrade for me.

      Then make it apply. Have 8gb of on die memory and a slot for more ram.
      I’m a apple typical environmentally sensitive type.

      A ram boost can take a machine from e-waste and make a usable box out of it. I’m still getting use out of my intel MPB but needed to add ram. I like to get about a decade of use out of computers to lessen the impact of consumerism.

        Then you have to ask how would that change benefit Apple?

        If there’s no significant benefit they won’t do it.
