Apple’s MacBook Pro memory problem is worse than ever::Apple still sells expensive “Pro” computers with just 8GB of RAM and charges a fortune for more.

    That’s just cached memory. Pretty common practice for any modern OS to retain memory until 60% usage or so. Costs nothing and is snappier performance.

    11GB idling is only after having done other things. When you launch it’ll be less than 2 in my experience.

      Ohhh right, I totally forgot about that. Remember reading about it somewhere. In that case, I guess it makes more sense.
