I dunno who told you the Wii U was 720p-only. Mine ran at 1080p all day, every day - albeit some games used upscaling to reduce the graphical workload.

I'm not talking about the merits or otherwise of "unified memory", I'm pointing out that because Apple's RAM is physically integrated into the CPU, it can provide more memory bandwidth than regular DDR5 DIMMs.

The LPDDR4X RAM in the Raspberry Pi isn't QUITE the same as the on-die stuff in the M3 processor.

With Apple's chips the RAM is all on the CPU die so both CPU and GPU get the performance benefit. With Intel's, none of it is.

Apple's RAM isn't as cheap as you might think, because it's all built directly onto the CPU die. That's part of what makes its computers so fast.

It's a shame we can't downvote posts lower than zero.

Do you think Amazon gets its goods for free?

While it's true that the imbeciles in our (UK) government have tried to implicitly outlaw E2EE, there are no restrictions on VPNs here.

Then buy something physical – there are literally millions upon millions of products he can spend the credit on.

They gave him regular Amazon credit, so he can spend it on physical goods if he likes.

It's Amazon, dude. You may not like their business practices but it's a fair bet they're going to have something you want at a decent price.

You're saying you can't buy to own anything... at Amazon?
