The 4GB RAM limit of the new MacBooks is semi-accurate

Nvidia already claimed that the new MacBooks can handle more than 4GB of RAM, but until now it’s just been Nvidia’s word against Apple’s. Well, thanks to Luke from iFixIt Labs, we now know that Nvidia’s claim that the MacBook can accept 8GB of RAM is accurate. There are only two problems remaining: 8GB of RAM is still really expensive, and Apple wasn’t necessarily lying either.

It turns out the MacBook can see all 8GB of RAM, it just doesn’t know what to do with it.
