Laptop dimms look similar to that, sorry I didnt look for the itty bitty clips on the sides.  Hardware is not my thing, which is why I never comment on it, bud.

I'm getting one!  Just ordered new iMac 27 5K 3.5ghz.  Upgrading from my old (late 2009) iMac 21.5.  Very excited.

Quick Q. I am looking to get a laptop for work/school. I was browsing around Best Buy and seeing the things to see. I noticed the hard drive on the Apple products was significantly less than that of what I could get on a pc. Like 256 and 512 gb compared to 1TB etc.

Why is this? What does it all mean? I'm just humoring myself that I could be a cool Apple kid and will probably settle on a Samsung/Lenovo/Asus.

So what exactly is your question?  What’s the difference between different hard drive capacities?

Why are they so small for Apple? Is the OS just so much smaller?

All Apple computers have solid state drives(SSD).  They are much faster than traditional hard drives(HD) and therefore are more expensive.  The non-Apple computers you were looking at that had more drive capacity probably had traditional HD’s.

Yeah I noticed that as well. That makes sense. I hadn't taken the solid state vs traditional into account.

Just some advice but go to Best Buy/Nub Furniture Mart etc to test stuff out and find what you want.  But buy directly from the manufacturer tho.  So Apple/Dell/Toshiba/Asus etc otherwise you will probably get even more bloatware than the manufacturer puts on it.

I appreciate the advice. I'm sure I'll ask for more when the time comes. I used to browse newegg. Avoid them too?
