I am going to be purchasing a MacBook in January and have pretty much decided on the 13in Air but do you really need 16GB of ram? It will be used for School Work, Gaming and Photo editing.

    Also a student here. I have the base model M2 Air, and it holds up well. I constantly have Notion, Word, an IDE, Safari, and Apple Music up during my work sessions and experience no slow-downs whatsoever.

    Although, if you can cough up the extra money to get additional RAM then go for it, it just furthers the future-proofing of your machine.
