Most people with any kind of income can scrape together $899 for a personal computer that will last several years. I wouldn’t want to be selling ‘premium’ Windows-based notebooks these days!

Someone like chucker might need more RAM, but especially with Mavericks’ memory compression, the average user probably doesn’t. Beautiful machines, beautifully priced. Nice.
I can't imagine any user having a pleasant experience with 4GB RAM in 2014 doing anything beyond Facebook.

Unfortunately, most users just won't know how much faster/better their experience would be, especially since you are stuck with 4GB for the life of the machine.
