I think it depends on what you are doing. I work with Word and Excel and 4GB RAM is perfectly okay for me. Word is mostly text, not a lot of images inserted. Files aren’t that large, usually under 5MB.
This for Macbooks and Windows laptops. I have laptops with more than 4GB RAM that I use, but my main laptop has 4GB RAM (a Windows laptop without a lot of stuff running in background) and it has no problems.
