Why are they still shipping otherwise high end laptops with just 4GB RAM? Does the speed of SSD make up for the lag when paging or swapping? (I doubt it.)



The speed of the SSD is pretty fast. I've only got 4GB in my 2010 MacBook Pro and it's a lot quicker than my 2010 27" iMac with a faster processor, 1TB hard drive, and 4GB of RAM. Having said that, I would definitely get the 8GB.
