Based on this week I feel like 16 GB of RAM is going to be the standard minimum on all new Macs going forward for at least a couple years, and it’s about time!
They can't do their AI stuff and devote enough memory to the user's tasks with only 8GB. I'm glad they've finally upgraded the base spec.
A couple years? Hah! Once apple gives it 16 GB that's gonna be the same amount they have for like 15 years
It really is but adding cheap external storage will help.
That's not a reasonable solution for laptops
