And still no ecc?
What consumer grade laptop has ECC? Only high end workstations have ECC, and even then it’s usually an expensive option that probably very few opt for.
DDR5 in the spec
It has some data correction built in, but doesn’t have ECC in the traditional sense.
Just to clarify.
For the price they’re asking ECC should be mandatory no matter what.
Should that also be a requirement on windows laptops of the same price? Because I don’t see any outrage over that
No because the price for RAM on the windows side is way cheaper than on the Mac side.
Yeah, not gonna happen. The only real reason Mac Pros had ECC was because it was standard with Xenon. ATPs latest episode goes over why we’ll probably never see ECC on the M series Macs and why it’s not actually as useful anymore (lookup linked ECC).
