Offering a machine with a 32GB RAM option might compromise the all-important portability aspect of laptop. The new MacBook Pros get around 10-hours of battery life (for the most part). To put more than 16GB of fast RAM into a notebook design at this time would require a memory system that consumes much more power and wouldn’t be efficient enough for a notebook. In response to the outcry, Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing, briefly stated: One argument in particular that stands out is the decision to limit the maximum RAM to 16GB, and has been the subject of huge controversy. The Macbook also followed suit with the “bold” decision to not to include any legacy USB-A ports and the inclusion of a function Bar that was a ‘Touch’ too much.


Before the wounds were even healed from that debacle, Apple dropped their new Macbook Pro a decision that was not highly welcomed.
