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.

    I have a 13” M2 Air with 8GB of RAM. My Mac Mini and my Linux box both have 16GB RAM. The M2 Air is totally fine and I have not encountered a situation where it was hanging or lacking memory. If your gaming or video editing needs are (or may become!) heavy go for 16GB. If not, it’s totally fine with 8.
