To put more than 16GB of fast RAM into a notebook design at this time would require a memory system that consumes much more power and wouldn't be efficient enough for a notebook. I hope you check out this new generation MacBook Pro, it really is an incredible system.For more RAM in a MacBook Pro, we’d need a larger battery; to get a larger battery, we’d have to have a new case. That would effectively make a pro’s Pro something else entirely. As for CPUs, Kuo thinks these new MacBooks Pro will have Intel’s Kaby Lake processor. Unfortunately, that won’t make much difference. Kaby Lake is as performant as current Skylake processors, and really only shines for video processing – which is handled by a dedicated GPU in the MacBooks.

(If laptops don’t suit you, many of the same pundits who want the MacBook Pro upgraded are also calling for a new Mac Pro desktop with a lot more RAM.) Upon the latest MacBook Pro's launch, many professionals lambasted the laptop for topping out at 16GB RAM. Though Apple made improvements to the screen brightness and keyboard, and added its notable Touch Bar to the mix (also a hot-button topic), pros wanted more under the hood. Now, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities says Apple will raise the bar to 32GB RAM for the 2017 MacBooks Pro, but only a 15-inch variant. It’s not clear if this means we’ll see a completely different Pro with 32GB RAM, but Kuo references it as a singular device, suggesting a new hardware tier for the power-hungry. It’s possibly the only way forward, if we take Apple marketing head Phil Schiller’s recent comments at face value. When the 2016 MacBook Pro launched, he responded to the RAM criticism via email, saying it would need different battery architecture:
