Is 8 gigs of ram really that bad? Priced at $2099 CAD. I want to get it but I’ve come across a crap ton of threads saying 8 gigs of ram for a “pro model” is not enough. I’m a light user, will only use it for university, no coding, no video editing, just general use. But then again we go back to the whole situation, is 8 gigs really not enough for this workload? The main selling point for me is the better display over the 15” Air which I was also thinking about and the thing is, they offer 8 gigs of ram for that one too… Which one should I pick? (Coming from a windows user)
8gbs of ram on Mac are okay, you may not be able to run 2 VM at the same time while compiling Xcode But I can open 10 apps and none of them crashes with 8gb of ram , even an app emulated via rosetta2. I will never get 8gbs of ram again but, it’s not so bad as it seem
