8 gb ram was the standard 10 years ago. Apple play tricks so that you pay $400 more to get more ram. It’s a despicable margin booster

This is Air, 8GB ram + 512GB SSD is perfect for a high schooler with a lot of pictures + video or an elderly surfing the Net virus free.

I am an old man and I am looking for 15 inch, 8GB, 512GB for under 1000. M2 is fine

If all you do is browser based apps, word processing, YouTube, Facebook and social media consumption. Then this is more than enough. If you make 4K videos and are a YouTuber, then it wont be. Can do it…but will take a while.

1)App compatibility issue, you have to use Rosetta2 for most software. 2)Unified memory architecture causes extremely excessive rewriting on SSD which is soldered and irreplaceable. //@sza: Don't be the beta testers.

not really. Just use Rosetta for intel applications. The performance is not too shabby compared to newer intel CPUs.

Apple's RAM is different from a PC. It uses Unified Memory that's on the same chip as the CPU so the ram is multitudes faster and far more capible than normal separate system RAM. So 8GB on a new M-Series Mac feels like 16+GB on an older intel Mac or any windows machine. //@Anonymous: When can apple catch up 16GB RAM?

Maybe a MAC RAM is different from a PC RAM, but both have one thing in common - they cost money. So less is more profit. //@Anonymous: Apple's RAM is different from a PC.
