Getting this for my first year college student.

I use 8GB base M1 Mini, iMac and Pro and they all work perfectly - never slows down, never gets hot, and fans never spin up.

This is a sign that the new gen M1x or M2 chip is on the horizon.....

Thanks, grabbed a gold. The student discount didn't show up until I signed into my account. I bought one a few years ago (great deal for $599) but somehow my daughter borrowed it and it didn't come back. Oh well, good excuse to buy a new one.

You may have just answered my question!
If your question was is 8gb enough for lightroom and photoshop, yes it is. The only time the air will not suffice is video editing. I did my research when I got it for $850 from micro center a couple of months ago.

I have an iMac that I love. I do some video editing and use Lightroom on it. I don't plan on using a MacBook a lot for it but occasionally. Will this one do that or should I be looking at the pro?
Depends on the type of video. If it's 4k video in finalcut then you might be better off with the pro. If it's just lightroom and images, then the air is fine.

It doesn't show up in the app if that's what you're trying

The Air and Pro have the same performance now
Not true. Pro has way better cooling and it doesn't get thermal like the air does

How does this compare to a p14 second generation? The keyboard is kinda bad and I want to sell it but I can't afford a x1.
