Beyond the Alphabet is a weekly column that focuses on the tech world both inside and out of the confines of Mountain View.

After Apple recently announced its latest M4-powered series of MacBook Pro’s, the company made another change that was unexpected. Every current MacBook in Apple’s lineup now ships with 16GB of RAM as a base, an upgrade from the previous minimum of 8GB.

Originally, I was going to compare the MacBook Air to the current crop of Chromebooks until I realized that you can’t get a new MacBook for less than $1,100. Meanwhile, the most expensive Chromebook is the new Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus, which is $400 cheaper. Yes, I know there are still a few HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebooks floating around, but those aren’t as widely available and are clearly being phased out.
