  • Masimo, the company that sued Apple over patent infringement, has unveiled its own blood oxygen monitoring smartwatch called the Masimo Freedom.
  • The Masimo Freedom is a health-focused device that can track blood oxygen levels, hydration index, respiration rate, pulse rate variability, pulse rate, steps, and detect falls.
  • The smartwatch is currently in prototype stage and will be available for sale later this year at a price of $999.

The base amount of RAM is a bit low, I agree. But why would you order one with less RAM than you need? I have an M1 Max with 64GB and it just flies. No matter what I throw at it, it stays fast and responsive.

Them: theyve always been over priced, here's an example where their 1k device had a pathetically small ram for the cost

You: well why didn't you spend MORE to get a FUNCTIONING device, hmmm?

My cell phone in 2020 had more than 8g of ram and cost the same as that laptop, no excuses

My phone in 2019 had 50% more ram and cost 50% less.
