    2020 MacBook Pro 13 (i5-1038NG7) Maximum Video RAM

    Can anyone who has the new 2020 MacBook Pro (i5-1038NG7) share the video memory that’s available? I’m thinking to customise it to 32GB. Since the video RAM is shared with the main memory, does more RAM give more video RAM? Or is there a cap to the video ram regardless of the main memory.

    Hey there! My friend is a Graphic Designer, and she's thinking of buying the MBP 16 i7. She will use to do some "heavy" Illustrator and Photoshop work, little or none after effects. Do you guys think the extra 500$ are worth to upgrade to 32gb? Thank you!

    MP All Models RAM - Buyback UK

    Hey hive mind, wonder if anyone knows any companies who buyback RAM. I purchased an OWC 128gb upgrade kit for my 6, 1 MP but never used it. Seems a waste for it to be sitting here. I know the US have loads of buyback companies - but struggling to find any in the UK. Cheers
