It is OK, it is for Apple users. If Apple don't give them 16gb, they won't need it.

8GB is not enough. It is very possible in the next 2-3 years Apple will not allow iOS update due to not enough memory .

Here is the comment from XDA.

By setting the minimum memory requirement for Predictive Code Completion higher than what base-model Macs offer now, Apple is effectively admitting that 8GB isn't really enough. Even if it is enough for today, it certainly won't be enough for much longer.

Apple claims to be an environmentally friendly company but continues to release 8GB laptops with tiny SSDs, neither of which can be upgraded.
Why do they do it? Well they know these devices won't last very long because the OS and apps quickly use over 8gb leading to ssd being used as ram(virtual memory), making ssd die prematurely from repeated writes to same location. Thus, they can be fairly certain many of these users will need a new laptop in 3-5 years. Not only that but as other's mentioned, they also can make 16gb the minimum for mac OS in ~2-3 years from now and all those users won't be able to upgrade. At least then they'll finally stop selling 8gb models by then ... which they've been selling for the last 20 years or so.

Apple IS environmentally friendly, what are we going to do with all those 8gb ram that nobody wants? The specs are trash but Apple charges the hell outaya, that's the enviornmental fees kicks in. //@Anonymous: Apple claims to be an environmentally friendly company but continues to release 8GB laptops with tiny SSDs, neither of which can be upgraded.

With the M4 chip, Apple set the machine base memory is 16GB - no more 8GB. Something is about to change in the next few years that caused Apple to make that decision.
Apple machine is not cheap. You may have spend above $1K to buy a machine that can be crippled/excluded to future updates because of the hardware limitation. And there is no way to upgrade the memory, storage to bigger capacity on a Mac If you definitely have to buy a Mac, get the 16 GB memory.

16GB at $1049 during Nov/Dec 2024 was a much better deal

256G is too small. iOS, photo and video will take a lot of disk

It really depends, MacOS takes much less space compare to Windows 11. For reference, I have an 2018 MBP, macOS takes 12GB and applications takes 65GB. So if you are not using the laptop for storage purpose, 256G is likely enough.
Obviously we'd rather have 512GB if the price is right.., What I am saying is, while 256 GB is a show-stopper for Windows machine, it may not be so for a Mac //@Anonymous: 256G is too small. iOS, photo and video will take a lot of disk

how about picture and video? Really no difference compare to Windows.
256G is way too tiny!
Apple sale this item, the goal is to earn your iCloud subscription for storage. //@Anonymous: It really depends, MacOS takes much less space compare to Windows 11.

The target of the 256GB base model is making the price of 512 GB or 1TB Mac looks more reasonable. //@anonymous: 256G is too small. iOS, photo and video will take a lot of disk

You technically should be storing data in a more robust place anyway... //@Anonymous: how about picture and video? Really no difference compare to Windows.
