Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. The chipset now accepts up to 64gb, there are plenty of similarly-thin laptops on the market already shipping with 32gb -- there is just no excuse for not having a 32gb option in a flagship model in 2016. It might come with a refresh after Christmas, maybe, but to be honest today I've just lost patience with Apple.
Absolutely absurd. I bought my 2014 rMBP for $1700 with 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD - the same setup with the new model is $2K. And if I add 16GB RAM to the base model without the OLED strip, it's still $1700 with only 2 ports!
