If you were underwhelmed by Apple's recent unveiling of the new, Touch Bar-equipped MacBook Pro laptops, you might want to wait until the second half of 2017.
According to KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (as reported by MacRumors), this is when Apple will update its MacBook Pros with an option to add 32GB of RAM memory (currently, they're capped at 16GB), and lower their overall prices.

The 32GB MacBook Pros aren't set in stone at this point, Kuo claims. They'll happen only if Intel's new, power-saving Cannonlake processors ship on time in 2017; if they don't, Apple will go the Coffee Lake way and stay at the 16GB maximum.
Apple's Phil Schiller recently explained that the new MacBook Pro devices don't come with a 32GB RAM option as that would require a memory system that drains too much battery.
The new MacBook Pros, while sleekly designed, thin and equipped with the new, interactive and context-aware Touch Bar, are significantly pricier than the last generation. On top of that, many prosumers weren't happy with the fact that they don't use the newest Intel processors and cap out at 16GB RAM.
